Holy ***** Batman...

the bike was in perfect form this AM... too bad I wasn't. New cassette... 5 new teeth for those hill climbs... new chain; all just lubed up and ready to go. New saddle (ever break in a Brooks). Heck, new shorts, and cleats. Darn new combination, felt like greased lightening.

Too bad my stomach felt a bit off... I just could not push hard enough to really take advantage.

Still... I did nearly 1MPH better average speed than usual. Maybe by Friday I will be ready to really rock and roll.

Saw some downside to bike lanes today... two right hooks and a student that nearly got creamed making a left from a BL... Of course the motorist went straight from a left only... not at all their fault, eh?
