Loose Moose on the bike trail

We went for a ride on one of the trails today. It's an odd thing, Sue is not a cyclist per se, but she does ride short distances on paved trails. Oddly enough though, she likes riding in the rain. Those of you who ride with me know I'm adamantly against riding when it's wet; not Kristen, Peggy, or even Bernice, can get me out there if it's raining. I'll be in the coffee shop with John. But Susie.... that's another matter. So out we go, riding for three hours with it raining half the time. It was a beautiful trail right in town. We were able to get in 22 miles total. Susie wants to say it wasn't raining that much. Dave wants you to know half the time we were out there, water was falling from the sky.

Along the way we had great views of the Cook Inlet. In one direction we saw the skyscrapers downtown, in the other direction we would have seen Denali if the clouds hadn't been in the way.

There was also a moose just off the trail; if you look closely in this pic you can see a brown lump not far off.

After that we went to the Moose's Tooth Pub and Pizzeria for a well deserved refueling. Tomorrow the Kenai Peninsula.
