Rode my clipper ship of comfort today... strange how a few minor adjustments can change how a bike rides... it's not a fast bike, but it seems to be rather indestructible and very plush. Actually this is my first ride in about a month due to illness, allergies and sloth, but felt good. I'm committed to commuting the next couple weeks to prep for 5BBT. So rain or shine, wind or calm, if I'm going to work that day, I'll be riding.
That said, I hope the gusty headwind of this AM sticks around for the afternoon ride home so that I can enjoy it as a tailwind, but alas, my luck is never that good.
