One road on my commute is about 1/2 miles of totally unpaved road at the moment due to some sort of construction. I failed to consider what it wold be like after 36 hours of rain.

The adult in me would have picked a different route. The kid in me was quite pleased to be playing in the mud!!
On the way home in the cage yesterday, I was leapfrogging a fellow bike commuter for about 6 miles. I've ridden "with" him on a couple of occassions so I was pleased to see that at his slower pace, he was still pacing the cagers on my commute!
