Today was great.
I was sore, as I predicted, but rode anyway, taking the short route. On the way in, I had a nice tailwind. It had died somewhat by the time I went home, but not entirely.
Anyway, there's a dance hall just down the hill from my house, where people have wedding receptions and stuff. I heard loud music as I approached it tonight, but noticed an absence of the usual cars-parked-all-over. I slowed down and peeked in the window, and saw that a rock band was rehearsing. I got my own private concert!
