Did a 73.5 mile round trip out to the dead end road in a quiet little place called Clarks Valley this morning and early afternoon. I saw a coyote pup that wasn't more than a foot long wandering around on the roadside out there, quite a rare sighting and a first for me despite spending a lot of time out in local natural areas!
I'm fatigued but feeling good and the '54 Carlton was supremely comfortable all the while. Had a headwind and kept it in a low gear most of the way out and on the way back I managed to hold 20-22mph for most of the last 15 mile stretch before getting back into town. Chain slipped off the Simplex pulley cogs a couple times, as usual...
Cheers!
