This past Friday, I rode the rooty climb up the hill up from the District park side. The trail was clear but a little indistinct at the bottom because of the fast-growing wedelia covering the line. The uphill was as heinous as I remembered it being. Along the way, there were two new chicken families, with mother hens and tiny egg-sized chicks. They had no fear of humans, as they waited until I was almost running over them to go cackling and peeping into the underbrush.
I rode the top trail and dropped in to the back street and did my normal laps before returning and doing the Chicken trail in reverse. On the way down the rooty section, the chickens were back on the path. I slowed down to walking speed, but they again didn’t get out of the way until the last moment. I’m pretty sure some little peepers got under my 2.1 Michelins… Oh well, natural selection in progress.
