No rain, but a cold front moved in and it's 55* and humid. Riding right now would require BarMitts. FML.

Lots of work to get done before going away + dark at 0630 + wet roads = fake miles.

Still raining here. Road last night when it stopped raining, but then it started again.
There’s a hill on the street that leads to my house, It’s not long by any means, but it’s the first hill that has any kind of climb gradient that I have been on. I’ve climbed it 4 times now and almost every time I have had to get out of the saddle. It is a very humbling experience.

I substituted my usual morning ride with a game of wall-helmet and glove-shoe. Invigorating!

Red?
Fortunately it's not an area I normally ride. How fast can tigers run? Can they catch an innocent cyclist?

Time to mow. The property is surrounded by woods where a hungry tiger could be lurking. The tractor's top speed is like 5 mph.

I had wondered the same thing, but unaware. Will stay tuned. Best guess is it was a careless driver. I have so many close calls with careless drivers that I sometimes think it's time to hang up the bike. I won't, of course. But the thought crosses my mind sometimes.

By the way, what size bike do you ride? Asking for a friend.
