Must be something in the air lately...

I "bunked off" on Monday (never heard that term before either...i like it ) and did about 40 miles. It was a great day, not too hot. We've had a lot of rain here so I went out to one of the bigger rivers and saw the floodwaters. I did find myself on a road I didn't want to be on on my way back. Speed limit was 45, so I waited for a big enough gap and high tailed it down the narrow shoulder. The best part was when I was coming up on some raccoon road kill with a semi creeping by me. I was like oh the irony here..... But I obviously made it back alive. My only gripe was the wind shifted on me and the temp dropped about 15 degrees. So I totally bonked. But it was still better than being at work!
