Rode into work this morning and spent the day trying to explain to my 7th graders how to balance chemical equations. By the end of the day I was in need of some time on my bike so off I went to check out a new road. According to RouteSlip the road I wanted to travel intersected another road I've been on a few times - a perfect connection that existed on the map but on in reality. So I climbed several hills only to find myself on a deadend road. Oh well, turned the bike around and headed home. Even though the ride did not turn out as I had hoped I was given the perfect opportunity to decompress and enjoy yet another picture perfect day (sunshine, 80's, little wind, etc). I got in about 25 miles and enjoyed every minute I was out and about on my exploration.
