Been commuting but haven't posted in ages. Too busy with a full time job, 3 grade school courses, a pregnant wife

, and various still unreolved apartment maintenance issues from Irene and Lee rains. Ugh...
It was rainy this morning, but a nice ride nonetheless. I've been digging the end of the summer heat. So much nice to have 70 degree days than 100 degree days!!!
Biggest change since last post is that the 700x35 Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires I'd wanted finally became available again, so I'm running new tires now. They run well and feel about as fast as the Vittoria Randonneur tires I'd had before. Hoping to get more then 3,000 miles out of the set (much as I liked them that's all I got out of my Vittorias).
