Training Log Archive: Swampfox

Even by mid-afternoon it hadn't warmed up much despite full sun--just barely out of the 40s, with a cool breeze out of the south making biking feel extra brisk. Heavy fog developed overnight and the valley was still rimmed by very dense fog to the south and along portions of the Laramie Range. The warm half of the year is nearly done--though saying there is a warm half of the year here is a stretch. It's really more like a 5/12ths warm part of the year, even with a warming climate.

The Ryan Fire has become active again, with a big smoke plume stretching to the SE most of the day, and well south of the valley so no local impact.

Ran trails around Crow Creek late in the day--quite raw and chill in fog and light mist. Because of the fog, I drove out slowly, and a good thing I did: on the frontage road, I *barely* missed colliding with an antelope that was standing in the road. It slipped as it was trying to get off the road, and I was headed downhill where it took longer to brake to a stop. Going 30 mph vs. 50 mph was all the difference.
