Return to Chain Break

What a great day for a ride! I wanted to get back to my old stomping grounds in Mecosta County to experience the hills and get in some miles. Took a couple hours off work to get there early. The day started out mostly cloudy but turned sunny and warmer by the end. Slight wind out of the WNW. The hills were still there and welcomed me back! I especially appreciated Chain Break hill (150th Ave.) and the out and back to 120th Ave. on 21 Mile Road.

On the way back heading south on 160th Ave. just south of 21 Mile two dogs came out barking--one a small terrier and the other a Border Collie. They were too close to try to out-sprint them so I coasted while yelling. The Collie tried to get a bite of my right heal and made contact with his teeth on my shoe (a first). Looks like I made some new friends! Most enjoyable ride and another chance to continue to rebuild my riding fitness.
