Started the day with an early 25 mile easy ride. Rode a big loop from the house through the hills. I circled around back up this road which I knew would be hilly and passed the tin man sitting on the lawnmower. It was early in the morning and the sun was burning nicely. As I started up the hill, I noticed a steady stream of cars with trash barrels filled, situated in the back off trucks and car trunks. Boy, what a smell! It was when I was half way up the road I realized this was the road that also led to the town dump and these were the early birds getting that shore done early! When I finally passed the dump, the pine needle smell swirling in the air, never smelled better!
Later in the day, after lunch I went for a swim in the lake followed by another ride. The sky had darkened a little. It looked like it was going to rain at any moment so I quickened the pace a bit and got home just in time. The rain came down about a half hour after I finished riding.
