Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

My list of excuses:

Monday - heavy rain, heavy workload
Tuesday - thick fog. that's enough
Wednesday - we'll see

Strava has a different definition of athlete than I do, apparently.

Wheat as previously stated. TTKU.

I saw a coyote running loose today. No cows though.

I guess I should check for updates on the loose zebras in the DC area, wonder how they're doing.

We’ve had three bears come into the city in the last five years. Those are the ones we know about. Last year I pulled off a popular trail for a nature break in the woods by a creek. Maybe 2 miles outside the city limit. Saw bear tracks in the mud.

It's possible that the weather is different where you are than it is for other people in other areas.
