After partaking in all of traditional Christmas time feasting it was time to try to knock a little of the growing HO HO HO off of my belly with some miles and some climbing.\u00a0 \u00a0Daley Ranch<\/a> offers plenty of that.\u00a0 \u00a0I decided to switch my routes some on my two rides out here this week.\u00a0 I decided to start out with a climb up the boulder loop which I have not done it quite some time.\u00a0 \u00a0While on the climb I came upon a Kangaroo Rat.<\/p>\n

Ain’t he cute?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So I have seen plenty of Kangaroo rats out on the trail when night riding. This was my first time seeing one during the daylight and certainly catching one. I actually caught this little critter several times while trying to get the photos. Other than a couple ticks on its under side it seems to be healthy. I’m pretty sure its behavior is going have it being a coyote or hawk snack very soon.<\/p>\n

It was has been really pretty out here lately with the winter storms bringing in some much needed moisture.<\/p>\n

It was pretty nice to do some of this area in the opposite direction than what I normally take.\u00a0 \u00a0Seeing things from a different perspective as well as at a different speeds put a nice “new” twist on things.<\/p>\n

Snow on Palomar Mountain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u00a0 always think it is a treat to see and visit snow without snow coming to visit me.<\/p>\n
