The Awkward, In-Between Season


It's warm enough that the bugs are having a field day, cool enough that it doesn't drive them underground, and wet... oh man, this has been a wet summer.  Bumper crop of flies.  It makes for unpleasant mountain biking at the Bethel Road trails.  So many crab spiders out that after a mile's ride I had accumulated enough webs to be mistaken for a Halloween decoration.  Packed it in only half-way through the usual ride.  When I'd left the trailhead at 9, there were about a half-dozen cars; by the time I packed at 10:30, mine was the only one left.  Seems I wasn't the only one who'd had enough of the fun.


Crab spider is disappointed the ride ended so soon.

Bleh.  October can't get here soon enough.
