I rode about 36 miles with my group on a paved trail, with two side excursions to convenience stores. Second ride for the Sugoi RS Flex shorts. At no time did I consider pulling at them- the chamois just stayed where it belonged and didn't bother me and did its job and didn't bunch. Yay! I also think that fabric performed very well in humid kind of hot weather. I don't think it was as hot as it has been, but must have been about 80-85 for the ride.

I saw a doe and two fawns right at the beginning, crossing a road. The fawns went _so_ slowly. The approaching car slowed to a stop and let them cross- what a miracle. Also saw a huge flock of cattle egrets, an ibis, a sandhill crane, and an unidentified dark heron.

After the ride we ate at an obscure little restaurant that had been owned by the same guy, Loius, since 1923, and was now run by his son, since Loius died two years ago at 106. I had a cheeseburger (or so they claim! it was serious mystery meat) for $1.80, small onion rings for $.90, and a small rootbeer shake for $1.45.

Gotta work tomorrow :-(
