I intended to do a simple out-and-back to Route 108. DH is still sick, so I went solo. I hooked up with an older guy, going about my speed. We chatted. I found out he's a neighbor of ours! Lives around the corner. DH and I have seen him ride, but never met him or knew him. I ended up riding with him for the rest of the ride - out in MDHillSlug's neck of the woods, actually. Also found out - he's an ex-Cat 1 racer from LA, back in the '70's. Lots of interesting people you meet, riding bikes.
