Bikes and Bears

 I've been getting on the bike more lately and I'm loving it.  Monster CX is on my mind and I'm a bit overwhelmed.  I don't want to suffer to the point that I feel like death anymore.  I'm ok with suffering, but not dying.  Too much to live for. 

 I got to see two little cubs and a yearling today.  From talking to a couple of people, it seems that these are brothers/sisters ( I didn't get close enough to check) rather than a young mother with two cubs. 

Being in the woods this time of year is so nice.  Thick foliage above creates nice cool shadows below.  Still sweat like a sieve, but being out of the blazing sun is nice.   Mid day road rides are not as much fun.
