Spent my lunch break yesterday pulling little pieces of glass out of my front tire. The close inspection of the tire led me to observe more degradation in the quality of the tread than I had thought there was. Still happy I got about 2500 miles out of a set of $10/ea. Nashbar tires. I'm thinking I may try some Vittoria Randonneurs for the next set, to be ordered this week.

Tire woes seemingly taken care of for the time being (knock on wood), I enjoyed my commute home last night. The ride in this AM was even better. A little warm, but not muggy at all, slight headwind. Averaged 15.1 over the 7 miles to work - one of the best overall averages I can remember. Timed the lights pretty well, too, such that my whole commute was less than 30 minutes.
