Actually, it's rainy

But, weather does not tell me if I ride or not, it only tells me how to dress for the ride.

I've had a "major" (for me) technical problem with the rear derailleur, but now the Thunder Child is back on the streets
I've also given her some TLC, including a spa treatment

after a couple of months of harsh (for us) winter everyday commuting, and now she is a pleasure to ride (what I call the "buttermilk condition")
So, Italy is back in the game
