But, in the warmth & daylight! Slow starting this AM, & thanks to Dr. Hughes for covering the out-patient appointments for me so I could ride on Saturday morning and afternoon & save Sunday for family brunch & church, & then chartwork @ the clinic, since tomorrow will be a bit warmer & perhaps wetter than today. Started from Riverview Baptist Church near 460, sweated it out after my pre-ride Jym drink hit me a bit too hard, but saved by a Porta-Potty @ the limestone plant. Beautiful day for a ride, did finally see some buffalo. Added short prefixes & suffixes as addenda so I could tag 70+ miles. Rained in large spots & swaths all over the last half of Waiteville Rd. just before I cruised it & reached The Swinging Bridge Restaurant, so I didn't get rained on from above, just from below, & bike got slimed underneath pretty well. Didn't stop to eat, since was a solo ride & that is no fun without fellow riders or family. Besides, no mask on me. Didn't even use their outside-access restroom, or even stick my head inside just to get their WiFi guest password to send Holly & Katy texts. 90+% of ride without any cell signal, but nothing wrong in quiet, no tunes but listened to bugs, birds, beef cows, buffalo, & humming bike. How is that for alliteration!
