I finally got to ride in. Ended up getting no storms yesterday, oh well. I also ended up leaving work early and hanging out at my LBS for a few hours then going to over to a friends house to work on my green Peugeot. Put some slicks and fenders on, replaced the plastic brakes for some "real" ones I had hanging around. Anyways, the ride in today was fan-freaking-tastic. Traffic was light, the sky was overcast but it was burning off. The sun is now out. I experimented with a different way to go once the bike lane ends, instead of cutting across a busy 2 lanes to get into the turn lane. Took me past the USC Gamecock baseball stadium (that's the real USC, btw).

The local advocacy group downhere is hosting the monthly Handlebar Happy Hour this afternoon so I am looking forward to that (who doesn't enjoy free wings and Sierra Nevada while hanging out with other cycling folks and pedestrians and talking about ways to make the city better?) - I have never ridden all the way home afterwards. I usually drive to work and ride from my office to the pub, but with long daylight hours and my awesome bike, I decided I finally had to do it all the way.
