awesome day.

winter roller riding has really paid off. my commute route doesn't even get me breathing heavy now. also faster. got to fencing practice really early. some of the guys wanted to ride my bike but were afraid of the saddle, despite my assurances that it would not magically castrate them or disappear into an orifice.

also my first day in actual cycling clothing (knickers and jacket). didn't know what i was missing. breathable? windproof? fitted? yes please. oh, and my new friend chamois... . sooo looking forward to throwing clipless into the mix. i did however find out that when wearing lycra my seat will need to point up farther than it does with cotton shorts. a little too much slip-sliding-away. through it all i kept my promise to my wife and wore my helmet like a good boy.

final thought: i love riding really fast at night.
