Soggy Week

Rain came to the Carolinas.

For the last week, all it’s done is rain. A bit late, since all our lawns are dried up by now, but any precipitation is welcome. This afternoon, the Sun shone on the backyard signaling me to suit up and go for a ride.

Plenty of cross country runners from the nearby Catholic school were out running the trails. They know by now to give me room when I ring my bell signaling that I’m about to run them over, since they occupy the width of the trail.

MTB: distance 14.66 miles, average speed 13.9 mph.
