Went out without too much effort as it is was scheduled rest day. It was supposed to be raining but the rain had held out until later in the day. Went out a little early exchanging a lower starting temperature for less water. First ten miles of course was the same as yesterday's mountain stage and it remained pretty flat. I was a little saddened by a saw terrier that lay dead alongside of the road near Munford. The sassy little dog had often chased me on rides in years past. I hate to have my last memory of him lying dead but I guess it just reinforces that we all will be road kill when our time comes. He probably would have lived longer by not chasing bikes and cars, but I also risk my life by taking pleasure on the same road. Did some mild climbing on the second half of the ride including another short fifteen percent wall that caused me some mild discomfort. I had planned on doing thirty miles but I guess I remembered the course being longer than it actually is. I wimped out and instead of doing a short loop to meet my goal headed back to the motel.
