Today rocked. I took the full weekend off after a painful week last week. (Monday I went hiking and did 3600' in 4 miles. Rest of the week riding in was a big ol' OUCH!)
Put some Nashbar foam-tape on my bar ends, and installed my PB Protege 9.0 this weekend. The new tape made the ride in this morning so much nicer. Who knew that $4.00 could make that big a comfort difference? The Protege 9.0 is a nice addition. Turns out that I've been pretty accurate in gauging the distance on my commute. One of the online route mappers checked in at 7.48 miles each way. This morning's total distance: 7.48 miles! Average speed 12.9, which makes me happy because that includes a 3/4 mile climb over 8% grade.
