What do you smell when you ride?

[Zen]

I smell pretty much the same thing as Lisa.
I remember once smelling laundry; the exhaust from a clothes dryer.

Right now I mostly smell me.

Rain....from those "sun showers"
Breakfast.....early in the morning wafting from houses or small restaurants
Skunk....on occasion
Farms....ok, actually manure....especially on a day they get a pile of it to fertilize the fields!
Reclaimed water....we have plants in town that do that...mighty stinky w/ a sulfur smell, too.

Skunks
Road kill
Feed Yards
Russian Olive trees

I pass a tobacco factory sometimes, it smells wonderful!

All the rural smells described above
Roadkill
Magnolias
Orange Blossoms during certain times of the year
and if I'm lucky - the really nice smell of one of the guy's in the group - I think it is his sunscreen.

Exhaust
Dead fish from the Washington, DC fish market (not so nice on a hot, humid summer day)
Sometimes flowers

There's a guy on one of the rides I do who has HORRIBLE b.o.! I cringe everytime I see him, as he's a wee bit stronger than I, so he's usually in front of me, and I can't drop him!

I love springtime rides when lilacs are in bloom. Now, the honeysuckle are blooming (actually, they may be past), and a bit ago there was something blooming that I swear smells like a wet sponge!

I almost forgot the Orange Blossoms...and Jassmine, too at the right time of year!
