[MENTION=175954]Tundra_Man[/MENTION], glad to see you're here to post after a run-in like that.

The only "incident" on my ride was running across "my" mechanic. He was on his way from his early morning job to the bike shop, so I rode with him for a few blocks.

Pretty warm, starting at 68F. I thought I saw some sweet shrub blooming, but didn't smell anything. Later on a narrower road, yep, it's sweet shrub! There's a dome of intense, sweet smell about 50' around each bush. The wider road must have enough traffic to dissipate the odor.
