I didn't think I'd be able to commute today. They were predicting heavy fog, and that scared me more than any thunderstorm warning would. Once again, the weather dudes were wrong, though, and I had a beautifully clear morning to bike in! (Though my glasses tended to fog up.) There wasn't a breath of wind, and the bike seemed to sail along with barely any effort on my part. It was a wonderful ride in!

The ride home wasn't so good. What with the lovely weather and having the afternoon free, I decided to cruise some of the back roads I hadn't been on. Not having my Camelbak with me, I pre-hydrated a bit too generously...soon I turned toward the small town of Nichols in search of the public bathroom in their local park. It was LOCKED* so I pushed on , and managed to find a secluded place to sneak into the woods a few miles down the road.

It was all good for a while again, then, but about 4 or 5 miles from home I started getting stomach cramps.

So, it was a mixed bag today...still a good ride, though.

* Coincidentally, there's a new subject on trying to find a bathroom in the Women's Cycling forum today.....
