I rode the Tour de Bronx on Sunday. I've come to realize that the only saddles I'm happy to ride are my leather saddles, so on Saturday night, I moved my Brooks to my Lemond (road racing bike) and rode that on the big ride. Well, it's still there, so the easy thing for me to do this morning (first bike commute day of the week) was to ride the Lemond to work. And it wasn't bad at all. I made my backpack as light as possible. I've grown unaccustomed to skinny tires (I think they're 22mm), and I fear I won't have enough traction, though I don't need to fear it. I had fun. But like Sunday, today is a windy day with the wind shifting direction every few seconds and heavy gusts. It adds a bit of work with a light bike, because side gusts tend to turn the bike, and I have to react quickly.
