May 20th ride was between a blooming honeysuckle canyon on the Cardinal Trial portion of the trip. We managed 12.4 miles and the average speed was 11 mph. Four riders and it was pretty cool in the wind. An unfortunate event was a crash by one of our members. Even though they appeared minor, the abrasions from a fall onto the asphalt will be hurtful. We sure hope healing is soon and the pain is minimal. We all completed the ride together with a subdued and concerned attitude.
On a more positive note, the honeysuckle bushes were pretty and smelled sweet and strong. It was enough to taste. These bushes are an invasive species for this area and at some time will require trimming or removal as they encroch on the trail.
It will certainly be nice when the temperature increases. Hope to stop wearing long sleeves and vests on a ride soon. Everyone have a safe Memorial Day Weekend!
