It's still pretty dark when I head out in the morning, but I got to see the sunrise when I topped the ridge. I love that. I slow down and just enjoy the sights and smells of spring.

A possum that tried to attack me had a bad day. He darted out from my left and I didn't have time to stop to avoid him. He passed under me behind my front tire but my rear tire went right over him. I don't think he was hurt much though. Possums are below the size limit where I might risk wrecking to avoid a collision. I'm glad it wasn't a skunk. I was probably only doing about 15 mph at the time.

I'm kidding, of course, about him trying to attack me.
