A tad chilly. Temps in the upper 30s/low 40s. Sun just coming up. The Adirondacks are pretty this time of year. I wore my nylon jacket, but still just shorts on the legs. I get hot easily. As it was, I unzipped the jacket after a couple of miles.

I felt slow. I had a huge Brazilian feast (lots of spicy salty bbq meat) last night and I guess I'm not properly wired for a tidal wave of animal flesh. Still, one roadie came out behind me but didn't keep up, and I caught another guy on an older tourer doing 16MPH so I just followed him. We passed a woman riding a sweet red cruiser with white flowers painted on the frame.
