Thanks guys, I've actually been riding for a bit now...I just haven't been posting. Lately the baby has been going to bed on average at 10:30pm and waking at 3A.M. and again at 8ish so I'm getting pretty good sleep. He's 11 weeks old so it's getting better.
Bumper to bumper traffic on Comm.Ave today which meant I was a lane splitting fool

. A bit damp as well but the raceblades kept the muck off.
