Temp around 50°, nice breeze, clear skies.
I've been so slack for the last two weeks, that even given these conditions, it was touch and go, getting suited up and started.

Had a close call with a walker in the residential section, strolling down the centerline, he was. "I'm going to pass to your right side, sir" apparently sounds like "Move to the right, or die, walking pig-dog!" Rich food and a glancing blow from a respiratory infection made the ride fairly strenuous, but it felt good at the end. I got so zoned on the bike path that I cruised right past my usual bridge into town and didn't notice till I was almost at the next one down. Nice man at the train station was very complimentary of my bike and light. "You rode 11 miles ALREADY this morning?!" Remembered my Christmas book for the train ride, "A Walk Across America", which looks to be a hella nice read.

They're promising me a 35-40 mph headwind for the ride home, and 80 degrees. Yow.

I hope you all had as perfect a holiday as I did.
