Gila Woodnet

I have seen this wonderful old truck many times on my rides up Cherry Creek. Today was the first time I had a real camera with me. The truck's gears make so much noise I had time to get off the bike, take the camera out of the bike bag, then out of its case & still had time to take several shots (this is the second).

The truck is part of Gila Woodnet, which helps thin the forest by harvesting small trees.

Tour of the Gila - Stage 3

Here come the Womens Pros up the hill by our mailbox.

The leader is the one in green.

Followed by the chaser in pink.

I took a video of the men. It is not very good and takes a long time to load.

Tour of the Gila Preview

Don't let The Tour de Georgia fool you. The Tour of the Gila is the real deal. It starts tomorrow with the Tyrone time trial.
I plan to take some photos when the inner loop stage goes by our house on Friday.
