Grumblegrump

Windy this morning, temperatures still haven't reached 60F. Not going for a long bicycle ride in _that_. Maybe a shorter local ride this afternoon, if conditions abate.

This represents proof that further bicycle mileage will come on nature's sufferance. I have _hopes_ of getting to 1500 miles for the season, but am not betting the farm on it...

Also looking forward to some golden autumn day and taking the mountain bike down to the carriage paths at Acadia National Park. Most of the vermin will have cleared out by now.

Still not writing. Donkey dithering between three bales of hay, might starve to death.

Sunday no-roadkill report

Temperature passed 60F with the sun out, so I took the bike across town. This is as close to an urban ride as we can manage out here in the puckerbrush, so the lack of roadkill comes as no surprise.

Still windy. Gusts 20-30 mph make the bicyclist less than ecstatic. I'm sure the exercise was good for me.

15.24 miles, 1:12:40

For those of you in southern climes

Frost warning here tonight. Freeze warning in the northern counties and in the mountains.

Looks like Hurricane Florence will head out to sea, not even bothering Barnstead. But the forecasters have said _that_ before.
