Must be the season for wildlife- I almost had a little bird (sparrow?) fly in my face this morning, it was sitting on the ground next to the trail and decided to take off right as I rode by, I saw it come between my hands on the hoods and but closed my eyes after that.... I also clipped a little grass snake yesterday (thought it was a small stick until it moved right before I hit its tail) and saw a deer on the way home last Thursday. And of course the ****** geese.

Decent ride today, legs are tired but holding myself to my no-train-tickets until September 15th challenge for the new bike, so took it easy with the hope they'll be semi-happy tomorrow. Thought about taking the train, but I have an after work dinner next week which will require use of 1 of my 2.5 train trips, and it doesn't seem like wise planning to leave myself with 0.5 trips for the 8/15-9/15 timespan.... so slow commute it is
