Another beautiful morning. A bit chilly at 40 degrees, but sunny and only a 6 mph wind.

I was really tired yesterday, so last night I did the responsible thing and went to bed an hour earlier than normal. Then for some reason I woke up for two hours in the middle of the night. Not sure what that was about.

Had planned on leaving early this morning and tacking on about 10-12 extra miles. Was moving slow when I got up so I didn't get out the door as early as I'd hoped, but I still was able to ride 7 extra miles just for the fun of it.

A bit of good news: I've finally shrunk my gut to the point where I rode a significant portion of the morning in the drops, not because I was trying to avoid wind or ride fast, but simply because I was comfortable.
