Very nice rural ride today, probably our last ride in the area (NC), so I am glad we had such a nice day for it. It was 58F when we headed out, later than we would usually to allow it to warm up a bit. I wore light tights, ear band, light wind vest, bolero over sleeveless jersey, and wool socks. I am sure to some of you that sounds like overkill, but it ended up being just right for me as this was the chilliest riding weather we've had for awhile. On the way back it was in the 60s, so the vest came off, but everything else stayed on, and I was fine.

What a day not to have my camera with me (it has a scratched lens so is out for repair). I got to see a cow calving and the little calf take its first wobbly steps in the pasture by the campground as I pedaled back to our motorhome! What a treat!
