‍There was a cold front that brought some swiftly moving thunderstorms through the area and as it happened the rain moved out only a few minutes before I was to start this ride. I chose my road bike and put clip on fenders on, although the roads dried so fast from the sun and wind that I didn't really need them. Most of the route was very flat except for a very steep subdivision climb straight up a hill. The descent wasn't all that fun with the inadequate brakes on my road bike, plus the stop sign is at the bottom of a super steep pitch. But the climb itself was really fun and there was only perhaps 5 or 6 houses on it. The rest of the climbing was pretty gradual and on fun narrow twisty roads. Very low traffic the entire ride. Picked up a puncture in my front tire just as I got to the Cave Spring city limit sign. I put a plug in and rode the remaining mile or so in to town. There were so many random stray dogs on this ride, especially in Alabama. Seriously I was chased like 30 times. Not a single dog was all that serious about chasing though so it was mostly just fun to watch them run alongside. 🎷🐛 89.81 new miles 🏘 Completed 25% of Cave Spring -- From Wandrer
