This fellow broke out running towards me as I came by on my Moots Vamoots RSL; I had stopped briefly. I was a bit afraid at first, but I quickly saw a wagging tail and friendly demeanor and highly intelligent dog face. The race was on, what fun (dog thoughts)!
Apparently he loves to run with cyclists, because for the next 45 minutes and 1000 vertical feet, he led the way easily outpacing me. I suspect it was the highlight of his day—not much passes by up there (the road is closed but I made my way by bike including threading my way through piles of debris in places).

My face has healed up from my Dec 30 bike crash pretty well. The braces will be needed a few more months, and possible a root canal, and definitely some repair work on the teeth.
