Okay toolfreak, you made me want to change my route to something more scenic, only there isn't any of that near my route .. Looks like you have a killer ride.


Today's commute was a bit better. I learned not to leave the house at 8:30, as all the high-school traffic is headed into school. Also I was amazed at how many Jr. High kids now go to Starbucks. I don't remember anyone I knew back then liking coffee at all. But I guess w/ all the sugar in the drinks now its all the same thing.

I had more energy today, but my knee felt a bit irritated after the ride. Also I clocked my cadence today, curious what I was actually pedalling at. Where i thought I was at 80 or so, I was actually at 100-120.

The weather was great, I only wore my leg warmers, and probably didn't even need those. I did my first downhill out-of-the-saddle sprint in a long time, it definately gets more power out of the bike to do that.
