Lower hills to the east. Legs felt good, as they should have, since only doing mostly easy efforts and no reason to be tired. A nice way to train -- either outings are fun because the pace is relaxed, or they're fun because the pace is hard but the legs are fresh. Though maybe that's just wishful thinking.
Got stung by some sort of bee/wasp/whatever towards the end of yesterday's ride. It got inside my shirt, upper chest area. I felt something there, went after it, but it got me first. Though it seems I got it too, as a dead critter dropped out when I got home. Hurt pretty good, but Gail (after a very short search) produced something called "Sting-eze". Odds are it's been in the house since sometime in the last century, but it seemed to do the job. :-)

North Sugarloaf. Rocky and rooty trails. The pace was slower than usual, but the effort still good.
Several short stops to takes photos of trail signage the state has recently put up. We're in the process of doing something similar on Mt. Toby, so useful to gather ideas.

Up in the hills just a little to the east. Not a lot of zip so by the time I came to Cave Hill it was just trying to get it done and then take it easy the rest of the way. Warm and humid.
Been thinking about doing the pseudo-Billygoat, but for that I should be running some. All I've done so far is once up the driveway and once down. Don't think that's going to do it.

With Gail, south of town. A little warmer and more humid, but still a good pace.
2 PM
Note
I was watching an egret fishing, without much to show for it but an occasional piece of vegetation. But the painted turtle that was sharing the log was taking no chances, keeping its head well retracted.
