10 miles on the Minuteman this evening, enjoying the relatively cool temperatures, gray clouds, and lush vegetation. The Night Chorus was getting tuned up, the frogs and bugs seemed to like the episodes of wet weather we've had over the last few days after all that dry stuff.


Took the LHT out agan tonight, enjoying the fact that it's finally more or less right for the first time since I changed the cockpit by swapping out the stock bars for 48 cm Noodles. There may still be a stem swap in its future, but that can wait. Meanwhile, the new saddle (same as the old saddle, but without 11k miles of wear and tear) really does seem to be set up right, finally. The bike is a pleasure to ride, in a way at once familiar and a little novel.


Serene ride.
