Velo Vol You’ll be happy to know that I rode by several pumpkin fields and they look pretty good. I even posted a pic on my Strava activity today. Some fields are just starting to blossom and then the pumpkins will begin to grow. First harvest will begin in September.

Glad I check my tires before every ride - I just pulled a shard of glass out of the rear. May just swap them this weekend; the rear is getting squared off.
Or maybe I'll see how long they can go. There's certainly plenty left on the wear indicators.

95F on the lawn today.
I was thinking how in winter we have five straight days of clouds (how does water even evaporate when it's 40F?).
But when Velo Vol is mowing in July, the sun goes into cook mode and we don't have a cloud to cover it for hours.
I don't get it.

I didn't know that either. Street view from 2014 has an "Available" sign out front, so Lemond must've moved in after that.
It's tucked in behind the ORNL carbon fibre lab. I like how the LeMond facility has more security than ORNL. Big ol' fence around it and a guard shack at the gate!

I’m not sure they are small but if they are, there could be a couple reasons. We had a very wet spring and a lot of our crops got planted late. Second, the field in the pic is in one of the last areas to be harvested so it was probably planted later than the first fields to be picked.

Very possible!
I was surprised as well.
They did perform quite well on my ride tonight - probably the best in a while. So I guess I'll just see if they glaze over again.

Tonight was pretty lovely. Wife made a tomato pie and we spent a lot of time out on our balcony.
Comet NEOWISE is also quite pretty through binoculars.

Clearly a grinder is not a grinder.

I'm still gonna try patching it with a tube patch, possibly inside and out.
