better left unsaid

I hadn’t been on my bike in a cou­ple of years for one rea­son or another so I decided it was time to get out for a ride. A co-worker sug­gested this trail to do after work as it was a well-maintained trail that my crazy three-speed could han­dle. It was elec­tion night so the trail was pretty much deserted (don’t worry, I voted ear­lier) and there wasn’t even a breeze, a per­fect evening for a ride.

We rode all the way to Upper Tan­ta­llon and back, a forty kilo­me­tre round-trip, some­thing I paid for the next day. It was def­i­nitely worth it as we came across these small lakes that were so still they became mirrors.

I love a good rock stick­ing out of calm water photo, so here’s a nice one. I man­aged to shoot a whole roll at this spot as we were stopped on an old iron bridge with lots to explore.
