It was cold today - 55F 13C - Windy and roads were still wet but no rain. After the riding the newly paved sakura roads I took a different route and found a 20% to 24% grade hill - great for sprint work or a mini time trail of sorts. After climbing the hill I backtracked and found myself on Rd 15 and then Rd 8 - in the mix I found some serious goat paths - gonna have to revisit this ride. A couple savage dogs - unlike my friend Marty - I cannot soothe em with a whistle so I resorted to kicking the meanest one in the face with my cleat.
