2250 m, warmup for weights

47.74 miles, avgMPH 17.7, from jaite, just peddaling along watching the weather slowly deteriorate, N a bit then E, then S on bike path then E over to Hudson and S to outskirts of Kent, then W to valley and down thru virginia kendall, rolled up on some dude all decked out in the gear and bike, a bit older than me, and he was sort of very heavy in gut, he really slowed on slight upgrades, but could roll pretty good on flat, so i passed him, said hi, and pulled down akrpenn rd, he was latched on, then nearing the corn farm, the weenie tried to jump me on his pull through in some giant gear, i immediately got in his draft and thought what an ahole, so i pulled next to him and told him i was going up oak hill, he said no thanks he had to stop, so i stood up and sprinted into the corner by szalays. up oak hill, which wasnt as bad as i thought'd be, around to steingassen rd, at 303 it started to semi-pour, downhill was immediately soaked, so i went carefully down the descent to riverview and back to van, was going to throw in another climb but just wasn't into it.
felt pretty good throughout the ride.

in brecksville from stables, down the abandoned rd a bit, then S-ish thru woods, happened to see the stoner rock tower, stopped and looked at it, laughing and marvelling at it, there was a rolled up foil tube on it, presumably for weed, so i took it off and stuck it under a rock, then there was a small rubber-ish ball presumably for weed soccer, at the bottom so i moved it up to the ledge at the top, and theres, a baby rock tower being built too, cant wait to see it full grown. continued S i guess, then followed a ridge down/around and buckeye trail was at bottom so i took that back.
walked all the downhills, plodded along the uphills, and just trotted on everything else, some walking too.

from seneca gc, W a bit, then E awhile, then back, just plodding along.
