I finally bought jerseys. Three plain colored ones. Yellow, blue, and red. Wish I'd gotten some before. It's almost like riding shirtless. Cool and dry.

Last night I was convinced I was going to get rained on. There was a huge line of storms heading this way but it passed south of us.

This morning was in the 60Fs and very pleasant. Headwind again but nothing awful. It pushed me home last night so I had to pay the fare I guess. Lots of Trail Hotties out on the path too.

I also put two new tires on my bike last night, so this morning was the road test of those. Plain old 27 x 1 & 1/4 Nashbar tires. They seemed to make the ride softer, which is a good thing. Less rolling resistance too, from what I could tell. My old front tire was an original from 1987. The back tire was a very inexpensive LBS tire that was already going bald after one year.
