Commute today was stressful. Two miscreant @ssholes in an Olds Cutlass threw empty cigarette packs at me and shouted at me as i was cruzing along. I caught up to them at the next light, and thankfully their music was loud because they didn't hear the paint being removed from their car by way of a handlebar(big ole scratch down the side of their car)!! Other than that, i absolutely loved the ride, due to my new steed! I finished the Concord SS last night, so today was my first day of derailluer free riding. If anyone still uses them, i recommend stopping! It is an amazing ride, so smooth and quiet, and it will make you stronger, and able to spin higher cadences than you ever thought possible. So, the new steed outweighed the negative treatment. All in all, a fun ride.
