I'm pooped! 26.8 miles; best estimate is 2,300' of climbing. It's an absolutely gorgeous day here. Beautiful blue skies and just a little breeze. Nice temperature too. Best part was riding through orchard sprinklers that were over-spraying onto the road. Oh, and I inadvertently chased a momma deer with her two cute little fawns. They still had their spots...soooo cute

I've discovered a new snack to carry on the bike. Dannon "Danimals Extreme" yogurt smoothies. They're tiny - just 3.1 oz. - so they fit in a jersey pocket. Of course, they don't exactly stay cold, but it's not like they're going to spoil in an hour or two. Best part...70 calories, a little shot protein and sugar, no artificial colors or flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup. And they taste really yummy!
