Sunday Market Ride

Homeward bound with a full load

Today was a good haul: 5lbs grass-fed beef, 2 dozen eggs, taters, onions, zucchini, green beans, corn, a bunch of carrots and 3 pints of straw berries.  The best part about summer is the food sometimes.  Today I met another rancher selling beef, there seems to be somebody at almost every market in our area now, and that is a good thing as far as I can tell.  Our summer overcast has set in, but there was no wind today and riding conditions were prime.  The more I ride my Roadeo, even with loads, the more I wonder why I have some of the bikes in the garage.  There is a bit of overlap at the moment and it may be time to reassess the herd.

Farmer’s Market Detours

I was on my way to get the vegetables when I decided to pull into McGrath State Park and explore some of the trails along the south side of the Santa Clara

The winter rains have kept things flowing, the estuary is drained out a bit and everything nearby is green and blooming.

Explored some of the trails through the canopy

Then back to the mission at hand, well stocked for the week and heading home.
