Friday night ride at Fort Ord

I was hoping to pre-ride the course on Friday night, but they were still racing Cat 1 men when we got there. We drove to the the other side of Laguna Seca/Fort Ord and searched for single track. We ended up finding some great trails and rode parts of the Gran Fondo course. There were some wild turkeys that were in some sort of mating dance, the photo below shows the male with his tail all spread out. There were crickets singing and birds chirping and the cool ocean air was blowing, it felt like summer, real summer. Heaven! John caught a California alligator lizard too, a new species for him.
