Yesterday I rode my 2000th mile. We have a street in town called Solstice Street, and on the solstice whenever there isn't frozen water of some description on the ground, I try to take a ride there. It's about 5 miles round-trip. This time it was made slightly more exciting by somebody's dog who decided that I didn't belong and chased me as I was riding back! Fortunately it was downhill and I got away.

Today the lake froze for the first time this year. It has now melted, because it is raining, but it was still cool. I broke a piece off and brought it back up to the house; about a quarter inch thick.
