Great ride in today (again) whole week has been pleasant so far. I've decided to do the BicycleTourColorado this year, so i'm going to alter my route soon to ride further. I want to work up to 40 miles a day (doing 17 right now) with longer rides on the weekends. I'm also enjoying my winter gear that my wife bought me for Christmas still, new neoprene velcro booties, a neoprene under helmet hat (highly recomend) it's toasty, pearl izumi AmFIB Tights, and a new nike fleace pullover to wear under my shell, it really is true that there is no bad weather, just bad clothes, i feel invencible! :-)

side note, saw some car pull off the road into a parking lot (cyclist was riding on the sidewalk because there is NO room on the road there, and one would be insane to ride on the road there) lady had to slow down so cyclist could get out of the way (rider was an older woman moving slowly) and when she had to slow she blasted her horn at the lady and yelled! Rider was so startled she looked back, loosing her balance and crashed. I was driving out of the parking lot and saw it all happen, i rolled down my window and honking flipped off the lady in the car and was tempted to do a U turn and go chew her out and tell her a thing or two about respecting cyclists as well as her elders...but thought better of it.
