34 miles Saturday, including a group ride. Very pleasant day after a hard rain overnight.

One YIKES! moment as a large tree limb crashed into the street between two cars, on the opposite side from us as we headed downhill fast. Fortunately the cars weren't going fast. Could have been disastrous if it had happened on our side of that downhill run.

That's one reason I avoid most routes with overhanging trees after a heavy rain. Too many live oaks in Texas have been weakened by a blight. They're most treacherous after a heavy rain.
