A beautiful morning! It was warm and sunny with plenty of wildlife - deer, turkeys, hares, and many horses lying down for some reason. It was also a spicy morning. Anthony was very much enjoying himself with me in tow while Alissa and Hong were tootling. Before the start of the ride, there was a guy standing in the parking lot and as soon as he saw me kitted out, he practically ran over to talk to me about cycling. First of all, he wasn't wearing any shoes and he was dressed a little weird. He didn't look super disheveled and, although he was talking a lot, he didn't seem especially mentally unstable either. As I tried to get ready, he just kept talking to me and telling me his life story. I wasn't sure if he was going to let me go or when I did go, my stuff and car were going to be 100% okay. They were.
