At least the ride was bugless, which was a good thing since I spent most of the ride orthopneic. Until I did see a large "early seasonal" fly when I got back to the porch after the ride. But I had to ride, to start my in vain attempt to catch up to Danny & everyone else's odometer. I might be ahead of the huge posse of ankle-biters @ the track that the parents were starting early preparations for this year's M2C on their trikes, trainers, bikes, and scooters. And 1 motorized pink Jeep. Went & did some roadwork and came back to the track after the chill disbanded them. No pictures of that biker gang though, as my phone says storage is full and can't take any more pictures, and I can't figure out how to put them into the One Drive or Google Drive cloud space that I signed up for. Smartphone dummy, here. Did find a flip-phone (discharged) on the Old Bluefield-Princeton Rd. though, will charge & try to return to its rightful owner (did have car tire tracks on the screen, but somehow not busted up). So you'uns are saved from a bunch of silly pics.
