Blah, it's humid out there. I didn't commute today, but I did more riding just running errands than I do commuting. Add to that making four trips, 3 blocks each way, to my car to pack up my camping stuff and I got some halfway decent exercise. Hopefully the rain'll hold out long enuff to put on the rest of my roof rack and I'll be set for tomorrow.

...5 hours later...

I finally finished installing the roof rack. I'd take 1 hour on Monday putting on half the rack while I waited for the clips for the other half. Today, It took 2.5 hrs. to install the rest of the rack (measured wrong on the rear part which set me back 30 min.) and put the two viper fork mount bike racks on and the wind fairing. Hopefully my bike won't fall off tomorrow.

For the first hour, an SUV across the street from me sat at the curb idling despite the fact that there's a 3 min. idle law in NYC. Then he shut down for 5 min., couldn't take the heat and started up again to run the A/C. What a stupid waste of gas and money when he could've just sat in the Starbucks 40 feet away.

None of this has to do with commuting, but I needed to vent. Good night all.
