24 miles today, most of the second half in rain. I got out about half an hour earlier than I usually do (despite waking up 45 minutes earlier than normal ). Not too many people out on the trail, probably because of the heat and humidity and/or the rain. Of course, I was wearing my blue and white jersey from my alma mater's cycling club. The rain wasn't kind to it.
Because of this jersey, I ended up chatting with two older men who were just heading out from one of the access points south of me when I stopped to adjust my saddle. One's son went to my alma mater for engineering management and is now working for Dow Corning (he said "My son graduated last year and managed to find a job somewhere with worse winters than Cleveland!"). The other one's son went to the university where I'll be starting my master's in the fall--I got the impression he went to med school there.

Last ride for about a week, and 50 even miles for the week.
