Great pics, Duck!
I did a 24 miler to and from my LBS, where I gazed upon the used compact double 110 bcd that will soon grace Flossie's frame. (right now it's a 46/36, so I need to choose chainrings. I know I want a 48, and probably a 34)
The weather was fabulous and energetic! Huge black clouds and dumping rain alternating with blue sky and sunshine, sometimes rain and sun at the same time. The sky was beautiful!
Most exciting near miss: a chickie having an animated discussion on her cell phone weaving around riding one-handed. I hollered and got away from her as quickly as I could. Shortly after I heard a scream, but no crash. I'm guessing she gave up on the phone after that...
Most exciting find on the trail: a soggy trampled bandana in a mud puddle. Yes, I went back and picked it up; tied it to my empty bottle cage. (hey, it's a *bandana*! I need those!) Ran it thru the washer with a load of clothes and it's tumbling and toasting in my dryer as I type.
