The weather was excellent today in Big D metroplex. Perfect in the morning and a bit warm coming home, but nothing to complain about. There was a wreck on the main road I use for my commute and the traffic was insane. I buzzed along on the shoulder at full speed past everyone. I was so happy not to be in a cage. It was a real rush passing hoards of cars doing 35mph downhill. I averaged 14.7 mph on the way to work which is typical for me both ways because I get slowed down navigating the route through the airport. I was so pumped on the way home I brought the daily average up to 16.2 mph. All I kept thinking about was how it must have felt for the cagers to see a guy on a bike pass them at a high rate of speed and keep going until he was out of sight. Today was payback for all the big metal beasts and boy did it feel good.
