Found this little guy while trying out a new route. Right in the middle of the road. I helped him to the other side. Must have hatched this summer. There was a drainage ditch nearby so maybe he was heading there. I carried him to the other side of the road in the direction he was travelling.

On a more cycling related not my new Trek SLR 6 is an amazing ride. I should not be surprised but I am much faster on it than my other bike. I must say I am a bit surprised tho. I expected to be faster but not this much faster. I averaged about 17 MPH over 25 miles last night and it was pretty darn windy. Bike just wants to go!! I know that's not fast for some people but for a 51 year old coming off an injury it makes me feel awesome !! I think the gearing on my older bike must be off and I need to service the BB maybe. I bought a Dura-Ace crankset for it off of Ebay and it is not a compact. I can't ride in the big ring at all. Looks cool but I can only use the small ring and the rear cassette is designed for a triple. The new bike I can ride the big ring and keep the rear in the middle of the cassette.
