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.

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.
