Well I haven't given my ride report yet. I headed out Hwy 70 which is a wide highway with wide shoulders. Then cut off to Hwy 109 to go to Old Laguardo Road. That's only about 5 miles long, but has some very old farms and an old log schoolhouse. Then waggled around out in the country.

At one point I heard a noise to my right and looked over to see a dog charging at me. I was ready to reach for my Halt, when I realized he was quite happy and just ran with me for about 1/2 mile.

My ice melted away quick and it was like drinking bathwater. But I saw a couple of phone trucks. They always have those big coolers strapped to the side. So I stopped and asked for ice and got a nice bottle of cold water. Love the phone company today!

Got in 26.5 miles.
