Record low temp this morning - in the 50's at the start of the club ride. Beats riding in record low winter temp (or record high temps).
Compared to last summer's heat and drought resulting in stunted corn and brown vegetation everywhere, it is nice to see lush green stuff wherever you look, especially the tall corn:
From this morning's club ride. I rode 28 miles. Intended to do more but when I checked my rear brake at the 14 mile SAG, found that one of the (disc) brake pads had fallen out. Even though the ride was pretty danged flat (aside from a short steep climb near the start - Fishback Creek hill) I headed back from the SAG.
When I got home, I dope-slapped the fellow who had worked on the brake yesterday - me - and put new pads in. Very carefully this time.
