ate homemade greek salad and rode 12 miles. wonder if there's a message in that?


new bio-pattern. summer daylight makes me wake up at the first whimper of dawn, stay awake for a few hours, fall asleep for a few more of that super-heavy psychedelic sleep you get when you're much too hot, and consequently wake up at the proper time poisoned with my own narcosomine, shambling like boris karloff on novocaine. karloffed myself onto the bike and off to work without really noticing what i was doing.

one of the best rides i've had so far. the led readout said 23 degrees celsius when i passed it - at NINE FIFTEEN in the morning. i made a mental note to get into my gear for the ride home and then get under the shower for a minute or two just to get some transpiration cooling, but i didn't do it. it was overcasting by coming-home time, and the last part of the ride just caught the very first part of summer sunset starting. i was some of the fastest i've been both ways, and i didn't get hurt.

stopped in at the lbs that sold me my bike on the weekend to discuss maybe doing that 2-week tune-up. now that i've had it three months and all. not sure when, but it would be kind of nice to get my other 16 gears back.

first playoff game tomorrow evening, at the close park, then nothing till the weekend unless they plan to practice. how did this baseball season happen so fast?
