Big Beautiful Trout @ Whitewater Preserve 11-01-09

The old Whitewater Trout Farm has become the Whitewater Preserve.  It is a beautiful park north of the I-10 from the Whitewater Exit.  From Palm Springs the ride is mostly an uphill grade and often with a headwind until one gets onto the Whitewater Road (which is actually part of the Pacific Crest Trail).  A wonderful ride especially when the wind is not blowing.  It's a fast ride back to Palm Springs with great views in all directions.

Welcome to this Road Kill Blog site.  As all cyclists know, bodies of the various local fauna line our roads and are a sometimes grisly, but not always, opportunity to get to see a variety of the wildlife that share our environment with us.
