biking - dark blue bike 1:21:20 18.4 mi (4:25 / mi) +510ft 4:18 / mi
ahr:123 max:147 weight:138lbs
Excellent outing, much better than expected. The radar looked like this when I started --
and this when I finished --
and all I got was sprinkled on a couple of times. Not complaining. :-)
Assuming rain was imminent, I wasn't sure how far I'd go, just headed to the flats south of town. Got out about 5 miles, looked around, no rain, the sky didn't look particularly dark, and up ahead was one of Phil's haunts, Mount Warner, plus its lesser summit, Philosopher's Peak.
Didn't take much time to decide that's where I should go. And it was excellent. Or I was. Or both? Made it around the full loop, plus the spur to the top, no problems, no getting off the bike except for a brief stop at the top, not even any close calls. Dark blue was really behaving.
Done with the trails (21:40, parking lot to parking lot), back on the road, still no rain. Heading north on 47, a bit of a tailwind, cruised all the way home, as dry as could be. :-)
