Ugh. It's back! The humidity. 80 degrees & 80 percent this morning. Saw a couple of riders going the other way. Didn't see anyone going my way. Maybe someone far behind me but I never saw it long enough to know for sure. I was moving right along into a 15MPH headwind.

I had a traffic conflict with an oncoming cyclist and a patch of mud on my side. I could slow way down, let the cyclist pass, then go around the mud (this is on a MUP), or I could keep up speed and blast through the mud. I ride a mountain bike. Guess which way I went? I smirked as I went through the mud, and the woman on the bicycle smiled at me. Guess it looked like I was having fun.
