Man, it was cold yesterday. I had on the wrong gloves and my fingers were freezing. It was pretty windy, too. I really had to force myself to ride, but as always, I'm glad I did it.

On the way home I outran a chasing dog. Nothing makes me faster than the sound of nails on pavement. It was a loose dog, but a man on the path was able to grab him until I got past, but then the dog broke free. If that guy hadn't been there to slow him down, it would have been an issue, so I was really lucky.

The rest of the ride was with a sweet tail wind, so everything ended well.
