Tough ride in, didn't have much in the tank and knees were a little creeky/sore. I managed to stay dry and only felt a little sprinkle when I was nearly at work. Wife didn't get to ride today, I was hoping her first week back on the bike would have been an "all ride week" but, she was running a little too late and left the bike covered, in the back yard. I saved a baby snapping turtle on yesterday's ride home. He was walking across the MUP and, at only about 1.5" long and dark, I thought he was too vulnerable to cyclists who wouldn't see him. I picked him up, put him in one of my water bottles, and dropping him off in a shallow part of the river, near the sailing marina. Cute little thing, hope he makes it. Looks like intermittant rain for the afternoon ride home, hopefully I can time my departure well.
