It was cool this morning, around 57ºF. The forecast says the high will be 73ºF, so I wore a polo shirt and a pair of shorts. I packed a jacket, just in case. I was cool at first above my waist, but my legs don't seem to get cold so easily. Eventually, I made enough heat to feel warm.

My favorite bike is in pieces, ready for me to rebuild it, so I'm back on my Bianchi Volpe. I rode it last week and didn't like it. First, my new shoes didn't clip into the old pedals, so I rode without using the cleats. Secondly, it had a temporary yucky saddle. Today I took the trouble to put my new pedals on the bike and my favorite old Brooks saddle. It made a huge difference. My lesson is that I have to take comfort seriously, especially for my feet and butt.

My upper body workouts are really paying off. I'm stronger and more flexible. It feels really good.

I really love dynamo lighting systems. I just jump on and go. Both bikes have dynamos in the front hubs. Nothing to check or adjust or charge.
