As usual, big hill right out of the driveway, but it was low 60's this am with not much traffic.....9 easy miles after that initial hill. Coming home was HUMID and in the 90s. Headwind (ugh) except for when taking sideroads to avoid traffic and the climbing of the last major hill where breeze was cut off by trees..."just when I needed you most" to quote Randy Vanwarmer. Still, it was more fun than walking at the track. Only chased by one yapping little mutt. A good day for a "less fat then he was" guy in his mid-fifties. Pedal on.......
