I had an awesome ride this AM and this PM.

I avg 19.2 my best so far on the way in and a 16 on the way out. It was a very beautiful day. of course this is only a 4 mile ride (8 round trip)

I went past work in the AM and picked up a coffee at speedway. But when some kid moved from an out of way place to stand by my bike when I walked into the store I got nervous and walked back out. I stood by the door watching him watching my bike. I was wondering if the coffee was worth the worry or worth now being late to work. I have a cool boss though I ended up getting my coffee and my bike didn't get stolen.

My highlight of the day was on the way home. This minivan buzzed me and as I leaned away from it my tire cliped a rock and flipped it straight into the side of the van.... PING!!!! I was thinking "score" And then another goood thing. When I got to an intersection where I make my left hand turn. There was a truck sitting at a stop sign on my right. They had plenty of time to pull out in front of me but they decided to wait. Ok I'll be curtious also. I came off the saddle took the lane and made their wait as short as I could I then waved, and got a wave back.

Minus the 18-20 year old ish kid acting funny and eyeballing my bike, I wish we had more cloudless beautiful weather days, that are not to cold and not too hot like today.
