the girl next door

we are blessed with mountains in the middle
of our urban area. everyone knows and loves south mtn.
it's cousin to the north is largely reviled. trail 100 is said with contempt.
but really it's great. taken for granted no doubt.
on tue nite i rode up shaw butte.
this morning i did a cold weather jaunt on the east side.
lotta horses out but you can generally expect them
to be some of the friendliest folks,
if you exercise some manners yourself.
