Donuts, manure and gnats, OH MY!

Well…the Cycling Diva has found a new route that has less road debris and less car traffic…it has a few hills and lots of incline too (good for training!). The problems are the donuts, manure and gnats! The ride begins with the delicious smell of freshly baked donuts. After my organic oatmeal and banana breakfast this is a cruel thing to put my tummy through. A few miles later the route goes past a horse stable…ugh…horse poo. A few miles beyond the horse poo odor is a canal with millions (well, maybe hundreds) of gnats. Riding through the gnats feels like being pelted with hail! No exaggeration! I think I will continue to use this route despite the donuts, manure and gnats (OH MY!).
