Hey, kudos to the first-timers!

I had a great ride this morning. Not warm. Not cool. 60F/15C with a light tailwind. I met up with a couple of roadies about 2.5 miles into the ride. I came onto the MUP from a detour (they had gone through the closed section... bad roadies... bad!) and pulled out behind them. They were mostly cruising between 16 & 20 so I stayed behind them for 4 miles until I got to my turn and they went straight.

Yesterday I rescued a painted turtle from the MUP. Cute little guy.
