Beautiful weather!!! Couldn't ask for anything better, warm and sunny with fluffy whit clouds and a wind that seemed to push me in EVERY direction I rode! I took the long way in, incuding my first climb up Cemetery Hill, which wasn;t quite as steep and fearsome as memory exaggerated it. As I set off for home, a motorcycle convoy was just leaving town and I got several waves and grins. Just some sort of good feeling about being out there in the wonderful weather, outside of a car, I guess.

If possible, it was even nicer on the way home! Fortunately I was grinning like an idiot when a big junebug made a dive for my mouth, and he ricocheted off a tooth.
