Today Jacque was home putzing around the house and quilting and what-not so I rode alone, with no doggie company. I immediately noticed, that however faster and lighter I may have traveled with ~15 pounds less weight, neither passersby nor neighborhood dogs thought I was nearly so interesting without them.
The wind couldn't seem to make up its mind about whether to be gusty, slow, or howling, but it mostly just fluttered a bit and provided little resistance for me to complain about. The house outside thermometer showed 72 (!) degrees when I left, in spite of near-freezing temperatures just after sunup requiring a wood fire in the stove, and this is the kind of weather cyclists dream about.
I first rode west up to the Post Office, picked up the junk mail, then rode back east again on my favorite tennish-mile ride down to Mountain Valley Road, north to Entranosa Road, west to Tumbleweed, and then back west towards home on Frost Road.
