Sunday was unseasonably warm. But there were still a few inches of snow on the ground in the morning, and by the afternoon it was melting into slop. I decided that the conditions were perfect for a nice little road hack. I knew there would be days like this so I had borium shoes put on Simon the last time the ferrier was out, so he was road ready.
This is the first one I have been on at the new house and it went great. It was just about 5 miles of mostly dirt roads. There were some amazing views and lots of fresh air. I was even wearing a t-shirt (and yellow reflector vest). We passed lots of cows, some sheep, goats, alpaca, a donkey, gobs of dogs and even one billy goat tied to a post with a bell on. Simon was a brave boy, and enjoyed the ride. We went at a pretty leisurely pace, and only saw a very cars and one gator. It was a great ride. I look forward to doing this one again, as well as finding a few others to adventure on this winter!
