Ride Description: State to Howell Prairie to Sunnyview to Cordon to State and home.

First ride in ten days. Stuff just kept coming up, and I kept getting more discouraged. Finally, Kim said, "Trikey misses you!" and basically kicked me out for a ride.

And it was good.

Nothing special on this ride, but it sure felt good. I think the rest did my legs good, as I felt stronger. And looking at my numbers, that's the fastest average speed I've ever had on that loop, and the fastest average speed on a ride in weeks.

Had a moron in a pickup dang near clobber me on Howell Prairie near Sunnyview. He passed me at 45-55 with an oncoming SUV, causing the SUV to cross the fog line, and clearing me by just over a foot. I was not happy.

Saw the buffalo on Sunnyview. Not sure if I have seen this one before, but it was not what I expected to see, that's for sure.

Clothing: the usual.

Technical notes: GPS continues to crap out on larger bumps.
