Nice ride in this morning, even had a little breeze behind me today. It's been an amazing winter for riding here in the Northeast. We've had our share of cold and ice but it's so balanced with warm days that it's made for a really ridable winter. Rolled home in the dark tonight and saw one other commuter at the end of the ride. We chatted about how pleasant an evening it was. Oh, one thing...today was bit of a harbinger of spring (awfully early but just a hint of spring in the air) and it brought out the jogger/pedestrian crowd on the MDC bike path. I can feel it coming- just when the weather gets great it will be time to give up the bike path and move back onto the streets. I'll take the Boston drivers over the Ipoded self-involved joggers who clog the path any day. No offense but they run aimlessly down the center of the path and no amount of bell ringing or "on your left" has any effect on 95% of them.

I might just be a little surly because I am reluctant to admit that tomorrow night I fly out of Boston for NYC, then Chicago, then San Francisco, then LA- two weeks out of town and off my bike! I will be living vicariously through all your rides while I'm gone and if anyone knows a good bike rental place in San Fran and one in LA feel free to PM me with details. Happy Commutes- you lucky bums.
