Today's ride was a new record for me. Dave woke me at 4:30 a.m. swatting at mosquitoes; of course he went back to sleep while I could not! It was a long monotonous day; had a paceline for a while with two brothers. There was road construction for 10 miles, three of it was gravel, and it constituted the most interesting aspect of the ride. Some new wildlife, fox and porcupine; unfortunately they were road kill. It was 100 degrees in the shade and the mosquitoes were killers.
