Did the long commute today. Rode 70 rather the usual 50 km (roundtrip) by parking the car further away. Weather was better than expected in the 12-14 degree C range with a slight NE breeze and no rain (hurray!). The trail was practically deserted and only encountered a couple of dog walkers on the way in. A bit of drama on the way home as I fear the Mongoose took out a chipmunk that decided to cut across the trail between my wheels. The little guy ran off into the bushes. Also, saw a deer and I think it was a buck because of the size of the critter but it was starting to get a little dark and I couldn't be certain.
