Day 24 I was on the stupid computer all day long, but at least I got my flat fixed.
Day 25 I felt like crap so I didn’t ride. Not riding made me feel worse, but I was anxiously awaiting a ride for day 26.

Day 26 Evening Ride
It was a very wet ride, but it really put my new riding glasses to the test and proved their usefulness big time. My feet were totally soaked – felt like there was water sloshing around in them. Nasty.
I can’t wait to purchase some riding sandals from REI.
One nice thing I did during the ride home was to stop and grab a HUGE bundle of clover for the bunnies and strap it onto my lunch bag with bungee cords. It must have looked funny seeing some dude flying down Rt. 179 with a 8 inch pile of greens and flowers strapped to him.
