5 of us started early today to try and get done before it got too hot. One of our usual Tuesday routes, 22 miles out to a little store, then back into a headwind. A friend who is too fast for us came along and seemed to enjoy the ride. He kept complimenting my riding. He's done that and bought me snacks since I worked on his bike once a few months ago up in the hills. I guess I don't mind.
