Today's ride was nice. I managed to get about 20 miles in after my lecture ended, at around 5:30 p.m. The sun stayed with me through seven o'clock, so Spring is definitely on its way!
There were many canines out enjoying the weather also, which made for some additional excitement this afternoon. Two came after me from the same farm, and nearly caught me, since I was riding into the wind! After escaping their attack, I headed back toward Urbana. On the way, a large chocolate lab decided I needed some company, and chased me down. With the wind at my back, he kept up with me for about a quarter mile before he finally ran out of energy! I was lucky to get away clean on both counts. I hope my luck stays with me for the ride!
