Surfing
No Showers/Chilly
New mitts too warm

Put on the riding mitts for the first time and they got pretty damp from my sweaty hands!

Tore up the gravel between Kingscroft, Hatley, Coaticook, and Ways Mills for an hour-an-a-half.

This is a very nice end-of-day ride that features two tight loops and a lot of western sky views.

Highlights included a couple of miles of surfing in the wake of a road grader on Curtis: at speed on nice loose stuff - a very consistent blanket of 1 1/2-2 inches of fine gravel with no lumpy rocks. Excellent grader jockey!
