A beautiful and relaxing 4th of July here on Crystal Lake. The weather is nothing like the weather forecasts predicted. We were bracing for a brutal hot and humid day with lots of sunshine. What we got was a breezy morning in the 70s followed by a cloudy afternoon in the high 70s – low 80s with very brief rain showers. A perfect day to just relax on the deck, sip on a Nice Summer Ale and catch up on the latest Tour de France news.
As you may be able to see from the attached picture, someone brought their dog to watch the riders today. unfortunately this idiot did not think to make sure the dog was on a leash. The dog wandered into the road and right in front of the peloton. The riders zigged and zagged to avoid the scared pooch and a number of the cyclists hit the deck. The dog… made it out of the mess unharmed; the riders… not so much.
