Last night's ride was pretty good, overall. Probably one of the strongest, if not fastest, rides I've had so far. There was one point, though, where I got a good scare. I was riding down E. Railroad and with the sun down a good 20 minutes, it was pretty dark, even with the street lights. All of a sudden I hear a dog, and I mean a BIG dog, barking in the yard across the street. Forget about being startled, I was more worried to know if the dog was fenced, chained, or running loose. If the latter, there was no way I was going to out distance him; the best I could hope for was to grab my pump and give Rover a rhinoplasty. Luckily, he was fenced, but it definitely got my heart beat raised.

Didn't ride today. I was planning on it until I read a correction in yesterday's paper saying that the Neville Brothers are playing tonight and not Saturday, as was reported earlier this week.
