Is this ambition?

Air temperature 63 F, wind north about 8 mph, mostly cloudy. Supposed to clear up to partly cloudy a bit later, temperatures in the 70s. Bike ride planned, but not super long. Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.

Minor puzzlement

Older woman walking laps around the park early, wearing a vest with LED lights on it. Dozen or so lights on the front, only one that I could see on the back. Me, I'd want more lights on the back. I can see things coming at me from the front . . .

Sunday roadkill report

One fresh porcupine on the centerline of the road about 6 miles into my ride, another on the far side, well decayed, at about 8 miles in.

Usual suspects in the floral department, with lots more tansy than I recall from past years. Must like the weather. Some milkweed pods starting to turn pale.

Judging by the aroma, at least one asphalt plant was operating on the weekend.

Rode across town and a bit further, back past the airport with no exotic birds on display, thence over hill and dale to home. Did not die. Ride takes me over 700 miles for the year. 800 looks possible, but I've given up on my usual target of 1000.

22.45 miles, 2:09:56
