A bit cool this morning...I'm still sporting shorts, but a long sleeve shirt, full gloves, plus a helmet kept me plenty warm. Should be a pleasant 72 on the way home. I only went halfway and carpooled. Tomorrow I'll go all the way. A full week of quitting smoking has improved my time and average speed, and endurance...8.5 miles seems like nothing now. I definitely need a new bike come springtime...I got no more gear. I'm maxing the thing out pretty easily...and its only "giving me" 20-21mph.
