Wednesday - June 19

Realized last night that although the biting flies have been horrible this year, one bug that has yet to make an appearance is the Japanese beetle. Wonder if the rain has messed up their schedule? It would be nice if they decided to just skip this year.

Tried making one of those fig and goat cheese pizzas last night. I used a store bought flatbread and I think I would make it again but use pita bread or some other type of crust. The flatbread got a little too crispy and was more like a big cracker. Still pretty tasty.

Another week of rain, with the possible exception of Thursday. 2019 will go down as the year of rain and floods and bugs.
There's a 75 mile gravel ride over in Macon, Missouri on the 29th that i'm considering. I think we could drive it that morning and not have to make an overnight out of it. When I was driving back from Colorado last week, I drove through the area and thought that the rolling hills would be a good place for a gravel ride. I'm going to wait until a bit closer and see how the forecast is.
