Beautiful ride home yesterday PM. The weather was perfect, ~70F, 50% rH, little to no winds. Very enjoyable. Some knuucklehead in a minivan kept trying to pass me while I was going downhill doing ~30mph in a 25 speed zone. That irritated me enough that I took the lane, floored it and dropped his ass. Speed topped out at 42mph, much faster than a minivan could move on that stretch of road. He caught me as the downhill became an uphill of course, but at least then when he passed me he was doing 30 and I was doing 15....
Ride in this AM was very pleasant as well. Looking forward to a sunny and 78F ride home, and hoping to break the 1.5 hour round trip commute time for the first time since my shoulder injury in Sept. Need to average 17.4 on the way home to make it happen.
