Blood Suckers

I donated blood today. To the huge mosquitoes that have arrived with the summer rains. They grew like crazy overnight.

Took my bike for a ride at 4:45 this morning. It was dry at my place, but by the time I got down the hill things were pretty wet. We rode for 75 min at tempo, nothing too strenous. Until I fell going over the railroad tracks. Rear tire slipped right out. A few minor abrasions, but otherwise I will live.
