Overall a great day riding, and a great end to a good week. Total miles today, 20. Total miles this week: 90 (Biggest week ever). Rode the Tommaso today because I could afford some 'breakdown time' if anything happened, but she performed flawlessly. However, I have concluded that she's definitely too big for me, though I will probably see if I can't tweak a little bit and make this work -- she's just so pretty! Overall the ride in was uneventful, but on the way home, after exiting the MUP, I had a boneheaded teenager pull out of a parallel parking space without looking (I could see him looking at his buddy in the passenger seat -- had I been a car, there almost certainly would have been a collision). Fortunately, I had allowed a great deal of space, and had room to maneuver around him.
I have to say, though -- my legs are beat. Respect to you guys who do 20 each way each day. I'm still feeling the effects of my 40 mile day!
