A tough ride in and back today after a week's vacation of no serious riding and lotsa beer. I rode 65 km yesterday to work (went the long way) and brought my truck back closer to home so I wouldn't have to do the whole trip this morning.

Temps were comfortable, rode the MTB commuter for a change, but seems to be bearing/cone adjustment problems at the back wheel that made the trip home a little tougher than usual. Also I was a little more reflective than usual - Lots of orange paint marks on the road where a cyclist was walking his bike across the road last week and was hit and killed by a large truck where the bike path ends at the lift bridge. It's a place where I've had a few anxious moments - My rear blinkie used to fall off in the middle of the road, when I'd jump the curb from the bike trail to the road. I'd have to run back and pick it up before it got squashed by traffic. It's held on with duct tape now.
