Good ride in-much better than expected. I'd recently changed my saddle and really dialled in the geometry yesterday. It's a little more forward oriented than my last and I think I'm really capitalizing on quad strength as opposed to hams while still sitting somewhat behind the pedals- (more natural for me). Although I woke up with an upset stomach I hauled @$$. I jumped on the wheel of a roadie who had passed me then, pulled in front and away after he waved me by-at about 20/21 mph. I was able to keep that up, into a slight headwind, until I crossed the bridge and turned south on Maine Ave where I bumped it up to 25 mph, passing another rider. The cooler temps/dry air are a nice change, I'm looking forward to Fall. Also, I put out a small fire on yesterday's ride in. Someone had probably dropped a cigarrette butt in a bunch of hay that was in the gutter and it was smoldering. It smelled great, like a campfire but, I doused it with my water bottle. Today will be my last commute of the week, I'm playing hookie tomorrow, taking the mtb for a spin in the woods.
