Rode my backup bike in. Much faster than my crosscheck like 8-10 minutes faster. A dog started chasing me out of the blue, I really never seen it, I took off when I heard the scratching of dog paws on the pavement and a low growl. Probably a little dog if it couldnt catch me. Oh yea, and it was trash day, so aromatic when it is warm out. Still a beautiful day and looking forward to a 90 degree ride home. I think the last one was last September.
