Commute this morning was beautiful! I also have a couple of stretches of new pavement - actually fresh concrete roadway. Turning a two-lane into 4-lane divided just oustide my neighborhood - the new lanes aren't open yet, but they're done (sans striping) and I can easily pass through the barricades. So now for 1/2 mile each direction I have NO traffic issues on this particular road. Getting spoiled!
Sunrise this morning was beautiful, new tires (Nasbar cheapy things with kevlar belt - 700x25) were great and felt fast compared to my old 28s.
I need to check out my headset, though - had it overhauled a month ago, and the steering is becoming a bit difficult and feels like it's too tight or the bearings are hosed. The wrench was all proud when I picked it up after the overhaul and he told me he was able to reuse the bearings. Please... I would gladly pay the extra $4 or whatever since I've already paid for you to crack the thing open and put it back together. Might have to stop there on the way home tonight...

Do tell - what are they? I bet you already posted that and I missed it...
