15 miles on the gravel roads this morning - the bike won the toss of the coin of "do I ride the horse or bike". At least I don't have to hose off a sweaty bike afterwards. Just myself. Temps in the mid 80s when I started out, zero breezes, humidity also high in the 80s. Gravel riding is necessarily slower than road riding, but shade is generally more abundant and traffic is nill so I was determined to get in more than 10 miles. Saw along the way: 1 truck, 1 car, and one massive farm tractor taking up the entire road, toting 3 round bales as if they didn't weigh 1,000 lbs each. By the time I was heading back up the driveway, hot and sweaty and happy, the temps were in the 90s and the humidity ramped up as well.


My views enroute.
