Had a super nice 20 mile ride on the Smithville trail today. Weather was perfect, since I got the ride in before it warmed up. Even got hit with a short sprinkle of rain.
Ride was pretty much uneventful until I almost hit a squirrel on the return trip. The silly thing came running out from my left, right in front of my bike. It was so close that I think I may have even clipped the end hairs of his tail. If that wasn't enough, the exact same thing happened (different squirrel) less than a quarter mile later! Must be squirrel suicide week!
At the end of my ride I had to double back somewhat to make it an even 20 miler since the out and back is only about 18.75 miles. When I finished, I noticed a man and his wife loading their bike. I couldn't believe that this idiot was smoking a cigarette while loading his bike. He must have taken that Canadian age test and made a decision to start an excercise program.
Keeping true to the program, although he did have a cigarette in his mouth, he was smart enough to carry a carrot in one hand and a turnip in the other........Mike
