Today's weather forecast was a bit windy but still right for a long ride to road-test another route I will tweak and submit for approval as a Randonneur USA route. It is longer than usual, because it combines the Underground Railroad sites from my other two routes (plus it adds one).
Saw lots of signs of Spring on the country roads: Forsythia, daffodils, dogwood, crocus and other stuff in bloom. Some fields looked like they had a lavender mist over them.
Sunning turtles on a log at Marshalltown (aka Frogtown) proved bashful and slipped into the water when I turned back for a photo.
A great blue heron stood stock-still in the water, while on the other side of the road an osprey took flight from the marsh reeds close by. Made me smile.
On quiet Compromise Road I saw a dog tearing across the big yard, looking like he wanted some of my leg. I was hoping the owner had installed some Invisible Fence, but nah, the dog was quickly on the asphalt and coming in hot.
I got my water bottle ready, yelled No you don't! No you don't!, and when the nasty cur got close enough he got a squirt in the face that stopped him in his tracks.
Just ahead a farm couple pulled the pickup into their driveway and waved me down. They had seen the whole thing develop after they had driven past me, and were happy I had avoided being bitten. We didn't get into any political talk.
