Cycling in the rain

 This evening I started cycling in Hunter river and went west to the other side of Freetown, about 26 km.
As I approached Emerald a light rain started, as the sign shows, I still had 18 km to go.

The rain stopped as I got to Hunter River, the photo is of the sky to the west.  But I was wet from cycling the 18 km in the rain.
Each summer we have a snake show up around our back door, we call it Fred.  I saw Fred a couple days ago but didn't get a photo but I got one today.The high temp for the day was 25.

Parade photos

 This John Deere M was made sometime in the fiftys, two cylinder but the cylinders are upright.

 Two Farmall H's, the first one is still a working unit, a 1951, the restored on is a 1944. It must be one of the first ones made.
The grey one is a Ford Jubilee, probably made in the mid fiftys.
Overcast in morning, sunny this evening with a high of 22. I attended a meeting in afternoon and a wake this evening. I was cycling after supper, to the Mall, then Winsloe to home, I logged 23 km.

Joe Ghiz park

 I was at the start of the trail in Charlottetown at Grafton St. I don't see horse and buggy too often these days.

The rose are in bloom at the Joe Ghiz park which is the start of the branch line that comes into Charlottetown.  After lunch I cycled to Winsloe, then to Charlottetown and then back home.

I drove to Hampshire and started cycling at 5:30 and cycled to Hazel Grove and then back to the car. It was almost rain but never did until I was back to the car and the bike loaded. I am guessing that it rain about 5 mm,  the temp was in the low 20's. I logged 62 km on the bike for the day.

Potato field

 I was cycling in Kensington this evening, this nice looking field of potatoes is located near the Blue shank road. The tractor driver had a steady hand to have the rows so straight or he was using a GPS unit.
There was 12 cyclists in the group, we are trying to get a group cycling in Kensington same as in Charlottetown.
Sunny with light wind at 25.
