Another brief ride, 17 miles total (route map) with an average speed of 15.7 mph. It started with a swing down to Old Trinity Church in Church Creek, Dorchester County (map link). Built about 1675 and originally called “Dorchester Parish Church,” Old Trinity may be America's oldest operating church. Being in a water-focused community, the church includes a dock and its web site includes information on navigation and tides.
After visiting the church, I picked up my regular 15 mile loop. The riding was fairly unremarkable, though slower than I would have liked. I came upon a red fox somewhat too quickly for both of us. No damage was done, but I slowed down and began riding within the range of my headlight. Good news on lighting, however, my housemate accused me of being lit like a Christmas Tree as I pulled into the driveway.
