jhetleyNo roadkill. Again. Not-roadkill, a woodchuck galumphing across the road in front of me -- the grass is always greener on the other side of the road. And I imagine that Brother Chuck would say he was galloping, and gracefully at that. Trust me, he was galumphing.
Temperature rebounded all the way to 60 F, and I decided I'd rather battle the wind than watch a poker tournament on TV. What is with weekend network TV these days? Don't they know there's hockey playoffs?
Anyway, biked upriver to the Big U and around the ghost town that is a college campus on the day after graduation. If you doubt the wind, I'll add that I hit 25 MPH on level stretches coming back downwind, and 15 MPH on uphills. This for a guy who averages 14 MPH on the same route...
Younger Son will be amused to hear that the housing complex that the U kicked him out of in his senior year, because they were going to tear it down, is still standing.
20.02 miles, 1:33:18
