Got chased by several doggies this morning. Couple of them got Kicked in the mouth and sent home crying this morning. Not sure why I chose today to do this long ride, the phone rang about 20x for work. I’ll be slammed this afternoon as a result. I was able to at least get some decent elevation. Approx 6 Mi was pavement (partly because I made a wrong turn and had to reroute) The rest was dirt, sand, & rock??
