Got my MTB back after sending the fork off for work. The last 2-3 months I was riding heavily biased towards the road and the hot weather has really broken me and it feels good to be in the woods.
Bugs have been incredibly bad though! I went today and I got munched through my shirt (5x bad bites) and on my hand (right through my glove) because I hadn't applied bug spray to my clothes. I put "Cutter" on my arms/legs neck and I had zero bites anywhere that weren't through my clothes.

This morning was a lzy cruise ride around the valley on the lovely riding Kirk Terraplane. This is one bike the lives fully up to it's rep. You can just keep pedaling easily and dropping gears the bike just goes faster and faster with hardly any perceived extra effort. Smooth yet not dead feeling at all.
  One of the older homes in Huntsville   Water levels are going down just a bit on the reservoir  Folks out playing early this morning  Monastery barn  South facing slopes are getting really dry now

Copy from the microsoft skip-day thread:
Today was an absolute banger of an awesome day for me! Woke up with a laundry list of work tasks to do on my mind. It was a gorgeous low humidity morning here in NYC land. Tried to log on: Blue screen of death. Read the news. Went for a nice bike ride to get bagels and coffee. Got home, still down. Took a little trip down to Princeton to go for a longer run on the towpath. Finished off with a good cold beer and pulled pork sandwich. Literally no one at my job got anything productive done today. This Cloudxxx company is going to have a lot of 'splainin to do. Millions of hours of lost productivity today I imagine. But my day - excellent!

My wife and I are 6 days into a loaded tour of Gaspesie, Quebec. Beautiful views. Really challenging climbing today with many 11% pitches. Great to be on an adventure.

A day on Cape Cod
I took the ferry over to Woods Hole, and rode to the Shipwreck, a great ice cream shop in Sandwich, to meet up with my sisters, niece, and a great-nephew. Then turned around and rode back to Falmouth, same route, where I watched a curling competition a friend's team was in (first curling viewing ever for me) and joined in the pig roast they had for dinner. Then back to Woods Hole, another ferry ride with a sweet sunset, and riding back home in the dark (with lights) as the moon came up. Great day!
My route included the 10.7 miles of the Shining Sea Bike Path and 5+ miles of the Cape Cod Canal Path, separated by a bit over 7 miles on back roads through Cataumet, Pocasset, and Bourne. 58 miles on the Habanero.

Today's group ride
~53 miles in east Austin country roads. Started at 6:30 to finish the ride early and beat the heat. It was good to see our buddy Phil at the finish. He broke his hip six weeks ago at a bike crash and still going thru rehab, it would be another month or so before he can join back the peloton. Rode the gravel bike.
