| Nancy and I went up to Mt. Ascutney to help out with the hill climb bike race. This consisted of pointing to the parking lot for a while, and then handing out cups of ice water near the top (Nancy got stuck mostly picking up the empties). After that, Nancy went for a little hike while I went with the hang gliding club crew to do some trail clearing on the access to the south launch. Wind was not conducive to flying. Time logged is jogging back to the car from the south launch, then jogging toward the summit looking for Nancy. Very hot and humid day, but not as bad on top of the mountain. Blueberries were widespread and nice for snacking.
I also got in about a minute of unicycling when we were sitting in the car at the Dairy Queen in Nashua NH, and a car pulled into the parking lot with three kids in it, one of whom wanted me to try his brand-new unicycle. In one sense this is not surprising, because although I may not be recognized by everyone as a unicyclist, this particular kid was Zack DeWeese. But it is surprising because Zack lives in Connecticut, which doesn't even border New Hampshire, and his being there was a pretty weird and random event. |

| Lane-Horse-Seaver-Howl loop. Despite the fact that I've been getting no exercise lately, I managed to keep the effort up the whole way around, and turned in a completely respectable time. Tanned, rested, and ready? The FDFs weren't too much of a problem, but I did swat a couple. |
