I saw my first rattlesnake of the season today on Figueroa Mountain. I rode my bike from my house up Happy Canyon to the top of Figueroa and down the other side through Los Olivos and home again. Mike says it's 60 miles, but I don't know for sure. The elevation of Fig. is 37oo ft, which is why I chose it for my challenge.

I'm glad to be done, but it was a great day out. The flowers are just starting to bloom on the mountain and there was an entire hillside that was all orange and purple. I did not see one other cyclist. I couldn't believe it.
