DDH,
I also only did 12 miles. and at 10.6 average! I did some hillclimbing. Basically I spent the first half hour ascending about 1000 feet to the National Forest boundary. Saw several rabbits, and some "Left Behind" Orange Groves. Rode breifyly thourgh the clouds(They were low today , at about 2200 feet) and then flew down the hill, and did some flats in a vain effort to up my average speed.
