Birthday Big "T" Canyon Sunrise Tea Club

What do you do on your Birthday? I decided to do the out of the ordinary for me and rise before dawn and have a cup of tea and watch the sun rise. At 6am  Homer loaded and ready to go, rolled the bike out and noticed the front had a flat! Threw Homer on the stand pulled the tire removed the thorn patched and rolling by 6:30 am. Sunrise was officially scheduled for 6:11 am but in the canyon I knew the sun wouldn't pop till a bit later. Spirited 3.7 mile climb, the cool air was refreshing and I made it to my destination above the wash with views up the canyon before the sun rose over the far ridge.

    1. Well Dad some folks are so used to coffee that they need a hand on the tea part...I didn't show the real secret of my good cup. It's the honey and a dash of powdered milk when remote and cream when at home.

      I'll make it down in May and we'll get that ride in.

  2. That was excellent. It was so well composed and illustrated. I hope it was as rewarding for you as it was delightful to see for us. Happy birthday!
