That IS a beautiful Bianchi. I used to have one just like it -- my first really nice roadbike -- but I stupidly sold it a few years ago. Regretted it ever since.

I had an extra-long (and wet) commute day due to Bike to Work Day. The official event was downtown, so I added an extra 5 miles so I could attend, but unfortunately a line of rain showers also showed up. I got caught in heavy rain at the 10-mile point, right neary my office, so I ducked inside for about 15 minutes to wait out the storm. By the time I got downtown, all of the BTWD events were over and there were no donuts, coffee or freebies for the few hardy cyclists who showed up. That was a bust, but at least I'll rack up 32 miles commuting today.
