Chilly this a.m. again, dang it. Had to don the full winter garb. Still, while the roads were wet, it was clear as a bell and I witnessed a gorgeous sunrise. I went a slightly different way today and earlier than usual. Got some hills in early to warm up and the path I took, which last summer looked like a Republic Guard holdout due to construction work, was smooth as silk today. I think I'll shift to this path from here on out when I go the 20 miles straight from home.
