Almost MIA

Road conditions as of 2 pm: Road dry with only a few shaded patches that were still moist. Only two spots where dirt covered the entire lane. Rocks fist size to baseball size strewn in the road above mile marker 9.06 to 7.00. One rock of notable size. More than half an inch of rain this morning. Caged in the house. I waited. Two o'clock was the sweet spot of the day. Warmth of the sun had dried most of the road. Light vehicle traffic those seeking snow I suspect. Rode on the tail of a MTB to the bottom of Monroe. Then it was solo ride to the top. Six other riders followed me.
