There's an IHOP going in a mile from here. I intend to be one of it's first customers when it opens.

I left out some pretty important details:
-every dog on the route was either on a short leash or behind a fence.
-no driver gave me less than 3 feet of clearance.
-I stopped at all the stop signs. Kind of.
-two drivers actually waved me through 4 way stop signs.

If it weren't for the fact that I tweaked my right hamstring a bit (don't ask me how, I certainly wasn't riding hard) it would have been perfect. If it were about 15 degrees warmer at the time.
