I rode 18.31 miles today. I started at home and rode north. I crossed 63 and followed CR 300. I stopped and watched the Norton Creek for a while. Continuing on I took some picture of a landscape. I rode north until the road stopped. I then went east on CR 800 S. then north on 275 E. to 775 S. I went east on 775 and crossed 63 and on to Alta. Just outside of Alta I was confronted by two dogs. I could see them about a ΒΌ mile ahead just standing in the road looking at me. I thought this might be my downfall but I kept going. When I got close one of the dogs came running to me but did nothing except try to lay his head on my foot as it came around on the pedals. It was weird but it was better than him trying to bite me.
I rode south on a little used rode paralleling 63. At least I thought it was little traveled. I rode for a while and stopped to take a drink. A car came up behind me and a car approached from the other direction. The car behind me stopped and then the other car stopped beside the one behind me. They talked for a while and then the one passed me. I traveled on and met another car.
I stayed on the road and smelled a most wonderful smell. It was black locust blossoms. Beautiful smell.
I went west to 63. I got on 63 and rode on the shoulder to home. It was not too bad riding on 63 but the shoulder was a little hard to ride on. I was not able to get up the speed I thought I would have. There was loose gravel along the shoulder that made riding a little stressful. I had to concentrate on the road to make sure I did not spill. The traffic did not bother me as I thought it would.
