Rode in the dirt yesterday, so my legs are feeling worked.

This morning was just beautiful... a foggy mist covered several sections of the river trail... I thought I was starting to get an ugly squawking noise from my just-repacked front hub, when I realized that it was ducks talking, and my hub was humming along all glassy and smooth. Low battery light started to flash on the headlight, about halfway in, but it's light enough now in the mornings that I could turn it off for the rest of the river section, and save it for the city streets I have to hit to get to the triain station. I should be able to get home ahead of sunset no problem, but I've got a backup cateye in the trunk, anyway.

I think everyone was feeling it this morning, other bikers finger-waved, peds fairly leapt from my intended path.

This is Day Two of my no-chamois experiment. Just wore Levi's baggy shorts and Merona seamless skivvies. No discomfort, thus far.
