I rode 30 miles with one other girl. I guess the rest of our usual group took the day off. Maybe Fathers Day has something to do with that. So we got to go faster than usual, which was nice.
We saw a cool flock of turkeys, with a couple hens and a ton of babies. 10 or 12? They all ran down the road, and scattered in the fields, and then took flight. I was surprised the babied would fly- they were so small- like chicken-sized.
I took my new shorts, the Sugoi RS Flex shorts, as personally recommended by TE Susan. I love them. They are perfect. They are even better than Trashy Cat. They are _long_ which is good if you have short fat legs. The fabric is thin and cool, but not fragile. The chamois (you can see a picture of it on the TE site) is perfect. Just the right amounts of padding in just the right places, and not the size of a dinner plate. And it didn't scrunch up or move ever. Interesting 10 panel construction, with cool kind of gray seams, with a perfect fit. No diaper butt. Nice leg grippers- that smooth clear elastic kind.

Hopefully Sugoi will stop with a perfect design and keep them the way they are for many years to come. But I bet not...
