Got back to camp after dinner just in time for a thunderstorm. I slept well through the carnage but the morning aftermath was discouraging. Unlike camp-in-place people I don't have the luxury of waiting until the afternoon to pack up. I have miles to make and morning, before the traffic revs up, is the best time to ride. So, I packed the wet tent, rain fly and ground cover soaked and dirty into a panier and headed off into the sunrise.
Sorry to be a downer, but the extra effort and downright cold conditions made me cranky. I finally got on the road a full two hours later than intended. To add to the misery, the road was hilly, curvy and busy with no shoulder for the first 10 miles.
I made Houghton in no better mood than when I started. Sorry but that's all I got for you today.
Today's ride was 47 miles for a total of 1,121.
Some days you're the windshield - some days you're the bug
