I uncorked it last night and smashed my route record by close to three minutes.

Today: First morning commute this week NOT interrupted by a flat. I was running a half hour late - It's funny how you get used to seeing certain people at certain places on the route. It was odd to see the usual cast of characters at different points on the route than usual.

Something that I forgot to mention yesterday is that on my route I usually see a lot of deer, but almost always does and fawns. Yesterday I saw two fork bucks, their antlers still covered in velvet.

Last thing: when I was riding home in the rainstorm the other day I had the MUP to myself. I rounded a corner and almost took out two wild turkeys who had no clue that I was coming.
