The leaf crew was out today and, as usual, parked their truck across the entire path. I thought I'd just pedal around as usual, but the ground was so soft that my wheels (road bike) just sunk down deep into the mud. I didn't stop, but was really churning for awhile. Then I had trouble getting back up on the pavement. Arrived covered in mud! Fortunately the shower in our basement was fixed today for the firsttime in about a month.
