With Gail. We drove north a bit and then rode up into Vermont on the west side of the river. Wind from the north, low 60s, definitely felt like fall. Went by Vernon Green nursing home, I think it was Kissy's grandparents that owned/founded it??, looked nice and well taken care of. Also by the now closed nuclear plant. A few more hills than we usually do, which elicited a complaint or two from Gail, though she seemed to get up them just fine.
And both bikes fit in the back of her car with no disassembly required. :-)
Supposedly every baby is adorable in the eyes of its parents. I wonder if that holds true for snapping turtles. Don't know how old this one is, but total length was only about 2.5 inches.

Old Deerfield via South Deerfield, back via Cheapside. Missing my normal training partner as she, rightly so, decided a day off was called for after six days without a break.
No reason to to do something nuts, but it seemed like working a little harder would be a good thing. So I put out a good steady effort for the first hour, before easing up a little for the last 15 minutes. Seemed just about right.
