The good: traffic was light although there were more people out at the crack of dawn then usual. The trail was pretty much clear of the flood debris from last week, thank goodness. First time testing out my wicked expensive LG shorts---V is right---they are worth the $$$. Since I've decided to do a couple of metric centuries later this year, I figured I'll get good use of them on my longer rides. Saw Mz. Racoon (remember my standoff w/this lass?)---turns out she has several youngsters whom I saw with her. They just finished raiding the community garden when I went by them. The babies are as pretty as mama.
The bad: some cretin broke a big bottle on the trail and I rolled through the glass. It was pre-dawn, so I didn't see it. Dismounted and kicked most of it off the trail so others wouldn't do the same. Made sparks come off my ruby slippers (cleats across the asphalt). Thank goodness, no punctures in my tires. I was able to continue the ride with no further mishaps and get home before the sun really started cooking up the heat.
