It was a bit warmer this morning, up to 34F... But a strong breeze sucked away any gain from the temps. Pumped up my tires before I left. What a difference. Betweeen hauling a smaller load and tight tires, it was a pretty zippy ride. Guess I should check the pressure a bit more often.

Must have had a target on my back this morning.. had 3 or 4 cars buzz me on the highway stretch. I think the cause may be tailgaiters. They can't see the biker on the side of the road if they are driving 5 feet behind the minivan/suv in front of them. There is a mile long sidewalk there with no side streets on that stretch. Gasp.... I'm pondering riding that stretch on the sidewalk.
