Mostly uneventful ... sunny, mid 60s, really pretty close to idea weather conditions. Almost bailed on the commute today. Was tired and somewhat sore. Yesterday was bottling day (I brew beer at home) and bottling two cases of beer by hand is pretty tough on the back. Glad I coaxed myself out of bed.

there were actually cyclists on the MUP today going in the same direction as me ... which is a rarity. As I reached the end of the MUP, I was somewhat startled to watch a doe and a fawn emerge from the woods on the side of the path. Kind of made me a little nervous, because I wasn't sure what they were going to do when I approached and I really didn't have time to stop, I slowed, moved all the way to my right and covered my brake. Momma slowly moved down the path to my left. Baby turned tail and ran back the way they came.

And I literally had to dodge a woman and her dog who thought that just because I was a bike, in the road, going through an uncontrolled intersection (for me) that she could just waltz right out in front of me. I saw her coming, assumed she would stop and wait for "traffic" like any normal human being, but she just kept walking. argh

Oh ... and I crossed the 800 mile mark for the year
