Excellent commute today. Wonderful weather after last night's thunderstorm; a cool breeze, rain dripping
off tree branches, overcast sky... great. No more 100+ degree days... (I hope!)

The last friday of every month, we have a 'Bicyclist Breakfast' for commuters at a neigborhood restaurant.
This morning, we were talking about organizing a criterium in our downtown, which is currently
undergoing major roadwork to make the streets more bike/ped friendly. That would be excellent... our
two neighboring towns, Raleigh and Chapel Hill have road races, but Durham has never had anything.

A group of us were also talking about organizing a bike co-op downtown after the road construction mess
is over... that would be an interesting development, also. There are 3 or 4 of us with garages/sheds full
of bike parts and tools, and we're talking about combining our talents and resources (and our shops) to
help fill a niche.

I'm glad we started doing these breakfasts (only been a few months, now) - it's a great opportunity to
meet other cyclists, and to network and brainstorm about shared goals.
