A New Day

What a difference a day makes...or a degree or two. I was becoming frustrated with my inability to gain any speed. I had a feeling that it was simply the temperature that was holding me back.

It was warm and sunny...and that made the difference. Here's some pictures of the park as it appeared this morning...
