Sunny, 73°F, Wind from WSW at 5 mph

First outdoor ride this year. Gorgeous day!

Adventure! Suspense!
A female TURKEY! flew across the road in front of me. I saw a few more off in a field. I also saw small fish in a couple of creeks I passed over. I love this time of year.

Some old man in a hat (the dreaded OMIAH) cutting to the inside of curves crossed into my lane and I was a split second away from deciding to bail into the ditch. I'm ordering a day-glo green vest-icle RIGHT NOW--it's too hot for the windbreaker.

First day back on the saddle in a few months. I was sick most of last fall semester and can't believe how much strength and endurance I've lost. That can be fixed!
