warmer temperatures on Friday morning. the commute in was good but kind of slow since I had a headwind going in for once.
I got out in the afternoon and rode to the bike shop to see if my new tires were in yet. on the path I got stuck in a high gear going up a small hill by a ped who didn't know where he was going and I hear "get rid of those gears!" behind me and a fixie guy passes me on the left. I yelled back "too many hills!" my tires weren't in but I got some extra miles in so that was good. I thought I was unusually fast going home and couldn't put my finger on it until I remembered I had a tailwind going home for once. had to dodge a van full of college kids going the wrong way down a one way street on campus, pretty much right in front of a do not enter sign. college kids, they're can solve complex math equations and recite the great philosophies of our time but they can't read a do not enter sign. stopped by the student union to eat then headed home. great ride back!
oh, and the last leg home after leaving campus was my last night ride of the winter season, since daylight savings time started early this year.
