TALES: Arachnaphobics beware
Did 20-24 miles today with Lance, Nick and newcomers Zack and Craig: Chibana Market Trail, Spiders & Pipes, Mad Hatter, Mudrock and La Luge.
Saw the absolute, no-holds-barred, just-ate-an-entire cat, this-is-my-trail banana spider ever sent upon the earth to inject utter fear into riders that could ever be imagined (Being the first summer I've ridden the trail, discovered how aptly named "Spiders & Pipes" is: all trails have spiders, but not this big and not this many).
Heard the sweet sounds of air swishing quickly from Nick's tire and air being sucked through my Camelbak midway through the ride.
Watched Craig's grimacing inspection of the splintered carbon frame of his GT All Terra as far from the cars as we could get (and his big grin when a taxi ride got him back 30 minutes before us).
All-in-all, a perfect morning (except that Craig needs another bike).

No wonder you can't fish in the nearby Dam! Can you say "radioactive pollutant"? I don't think it's a coincidence that this area's less than a 1/4 mile from the overflowing landfill and the spiders are four times the size of those anyplace else.
