Long ride

Sorry for the delay in posting, as usual I'm having computer issue's. Last Saturday I decided to do a long ride, to test myself. I woke up early (6am), and was on the rode by eight. The first eighteen miles of this ride is a long gradual uphill climb, the country is so expansive out where I live it seems to take forever to go up some of the roads I'm riding on. But there is a good side to everything, it allows me to reflect on allot of things as I ride.

Last week, I learned of my friend Earl Denet's passing; that really saddened me. Earl was Hopi, and a traditional kachina carver from the 3rd Mesa. He was one the nicest people I've had the privilege to know. I also thought of my friends that are gone, but never forgotten.
