From left to right, Bonnie on Chance, Rhonda on Sonny, Matt on Cocoa and Rhonda's friend, Sue (from Wales MA) on Roger. 1:35 short loop yesterday. Nice easy ride, some deer flies but not too bad. The flies either liked the lead rider best or just thought that Bonnie was tasty! I sprayed myself down good with Skintastic and hardly noticed them. Saw a snake, but no big deal. 

Last Sunday eight BSTRA riders that just couldn't wait until Sept 10th came out to check on trails. They had a great ride led by Karen.Fleming@fallonclinic.com. The rained out ride has been rescheduled to 9/10 and the GRHC/BSTRA ride is on for Sunday, August 27th, 2006. 

"Good boy!" 

Waiting patiently. 

"Any foxes around here?"
