Forgot to mention Tuesday morning's ride. My buddy from NYC was in town and he came along for the ride. At mid-point, a buck with large antlers slowly ambled across the bike path. On the way back near the end of our ride, a young fawn stood on the trailside and watched us ride by. In three years, the first two deer I spot on the trail, and both on the same ride a couple of hours and just 15 or so miles apart. This in metro Sacramento.
Cool!
