Another nice, cool day. The riding was good all day and we made good fast progress to lunch. We had a great lunch at Open Door Diner in Altamont and seemed to have so much time we ended up talking with folks, eating, and checking e-mail for 2 hours. It was still early as we left and as we were getting ready to go someone came in and said it was thundering outside. We stepped out and it was sprinkling very lightly. We put flys on our panniers just in case and rode the last fifteen miles. It went fast, easy, and really pretty. It probably didn't get above the low to mid eighties and was hazy to overcast all day. Flat as can be and pretty easy spinning. The heavy bike makes it feel like a train. You maintain a lot of inertia. When the short, steep climb sneaks in you end up in the little ring. Otherwise it's big ring riding maintaining a constant output which was an adjustment after the big rollers we've been riding for the last cuople of weeks. Yesterday it made my legs feel tired. Today they felt strong. Everyone is riding strong in the cooler air.
