Web traffic/This is the time to ride!

I have been encouraged with the amount of traffic I have been getting on the site recently. Last week was a peak of 784 views in one week. I decided to add some Google Ads to the site to see if it would be worth it to off set some of my costs. I'm not sure that it is, but I have tried to place them in such a way as to make them not too intrusive. I am considering putting a paypal link for donations, as it does take a lot of work to keep the site updated. I enjoy doing it, however, and it gives me another excuse to explore a new trail.
June is the time to ride with everything so green and lush and temperatures so nice. Although, this year there are a lot of areas that won’t be open until July, which should extend the green season.
For those of you who are not from around here, Pocatello is located on a high dessert area (4500 ft elevation) so the hills right around the city usually stays green for about two weeks. This year has been better. Once you get up in the mountains it stays green much longer.
I’m hoping to ride up to Garns Mountain this next week. I’m taking a couple weeks vacation and a friend said he would be up to going with me.
How has your riding been so far this year? Tell me about your adventures.
