At Newman's I stopped to take pictures. A rider on an Eddy Merckx carbon bike and Eddy Merckx clothing asked if I had an wrench to adjust his seat height. Amazing I said, "Leave it to a woman to have the right tool." We discussed titanium bikes, as I am toying with the idea of purchasing not a carbon bike. Seven, Litespeed were among the manufacturer's to review.
On the way down, a female coyote was on the road. I stopped and opened my jacket. She started approaching. I decided that was not the expected or desired behavior. I did not take a picture. Nor did I have extra food to encourage this behavior.
