Good morning from Maine where it feels more like late April than early June. After a few days of temperatures in the 80’s (Fahrenheit) I awoke to a damp 47F this morning. 

By the time that most of you read this I will be riding my bike on the dirt roads around Mooselookmeguntic Lake. I’m doing a Rebound challenge ride. It’s an event that was created as a spin-off of the Unbound Gravel 200 ride that I completed on this weekend two years ago. It should be fun day on my bike. If you follow me on Strava you’ll be able to see the route I complete and some pictures from the day. 

I hope that you have something fun planned for your weekend. If your weekend includes catching up on some reading, take a look at this week’s list of the most popular posts of the week.
