Very nice 32 mile ride, rolling hills. I got caught in tremendous downpour, but a very fat short maple tree really was my friend and kept me half dry. Almost home when a stupid dog came barking and chasing me pretty aggressively. I had to stop since he was determined to come after me (Australian shepherd), and all traffic halted in both directions while I had to yell at him and make him go home. He then became sheepish and ashamed of himself. Other drivers were concerned for me. I heard his owner start calling him, so I hope they got the message since the whole neighborhood could hear me bellow about what a BAD DOG he was. If this happens again I will have to speak to the owners.
Despite the dog and the sopping rain, I had a great time and my legs got a real workout.
