Pleasant this morning. Coolish, with temps around 60F/15C, and no wind.

I passed a very wobbly woman on a bicycle with one pannier, a trunk bag, and a large backpack with a silver terrier riding in it. Never seen her before. Strange.

Silly Commuter Racing, Friday Edition.

I noticed something dark behind me a bit, so I went just fast enough to keep it from getting any closer. Eventually there's a section of the MUP that's all torn up with a a lot of standing water and requires a trip through dirt and gravel and I slow down to about 10MPH for that. Shadow, of course, catches up to me in the middle of this. Roadie! I got out of the crud and put some distance between us in a hurry. Win!
