I rode 25 miles today with winds 9-12 mph (felt like 50 mph!). It was sunny, the humidity was low and I really enjoyed taking Jada out for a spin. I did encounter a combine and he wasn't willing to move over so I had to hop off the bike, stand in the ditch, and wait for him to pass. I picked up the bike and tried to run with her until the combine passed me, but figured I was borrowing trouble.

Hubby wanted to race me back to the car so we split off and I took the longer route but pedaled like mad. He took a 2 mile shorter route and he beat me by 2 minutes! Whew! Next time, I'm going to beat him back to the car. He said he wanted to pay the farmer that drove the combine since it gave him an edge.
