... quickly to a location called the Blue Grotto (which will be the location of another near death experience). The biking was great and was full of logs and technicalities that had us at the upmost enjoyment!

The prettiest was a blackish purple one with large light purple or blue (blame my color blindness for the indecision) spots.
