red splotch on the road

another warm muggy ride this morning. took off around 5:15 and nearly hit something strange laying alongside the road a little over a mile out. couldn’t quite make out what it was in the dark. i took a closer look on the way back home. it seemed to be a plastic bag with something red in and there was a red splotch on the road nearby. paint? not sure even now. anyway, i rode east past milan road a mile, turned around and came back. rode at a fairly moderate pace so i could properly recover from yesterday’s ride. nothing more to report really. a boring ride to get me ready for something more exciting. (12.25 miles @ 15.8mph)
