Clear after recent rain, but chilly. 40*F when I started, so I decided to try my new merino wool long sleeve jersey. Just a bit too warm for conditions, but since merino wool breathes so well it was a very comfy ride in.

Had to detour around some road work and went down a road I usually avoid due to loose dogs. I haven't been down there in a long while so I hoped the dog situation was corrected... nope. The problem is that there are two farms at the top of hill, one on either side of the street, and dogs get out of the fenced yards on both sides and act like a pack. As I came into that block I saw too large dogs out, decided I didn't want to deal with them, turned around, but they gave chase anyway. I got to the next street, turned and they followed me, but only for a yard or two, then gave up before they got very close. I guess I need to find out which jurisdiction they are in and call animal control. One dog is no big deal; when they start acting like a pack, though, that's not good.
