It was slow-paced riding, but strenuous-- lots of steep ups and downs and a lot of the indiginous plants evolved to keep nibblers away-- very thorny, so I was glad I had my half chaps on. I still have a couple of burrs in my thumb from a stumble during a hike! Not exactly the souvenirs I intended to bring back...

Oh wow... that stinks! I hate those burrs... I've got scars on my calfs from them (riding with shorts and no chaps.
)
