This morning, It was clear & sunny, about 40 °, with a 40% chance of rain all afternoon. I decided to risk getting wet on the way home to get a ride in. This time of year in this part of the country, one won't ride if one waits for perfect days.

Seeds & Stones Roubaix is this weekend; a gravel race down in rural IL. I'm going to try to actually go fast on it for the 70 mile course.

First mission was to bring some bags to the grocery store for recycling.



It has a pretty epic cargo area. It was almost insulting to only haul a 6-pack in it.
