Wonderful commute this morning. Left the house at 6:20 to take the long way in. It was 49F and calm when I left the driveway, the sliver of the waning moon shining in the southeast. I wore a baselayer poly t-shirt, longsleeve jersey, kneewarmers, and glove liners under cycling gloves. I was a little chilly for the first 15 minutes or so but fine after that.
Coming back into Sacto on Capitol Mall, I was stuck behind a truck at a traffic light but I had a fine trackstand going. Hardly any rocking, just like I was being propped up by an invisible support. I looked over to left lane and noticed young woman in the passenger seat who was just transfixed. And her very MILFy mom in the driver seat was staring too. They both looked up from the bike and I gave them a nice big smile. I swear they both giggled like little girls.
Chicks dig track stands.
