Nice day today, clouds gone -- blue skies ahoy! A few degrees colder than yesterday but the direct sunshine more than made up for it. Alas the wind was back and I'm still feeling sluggish, but I sure enjoyed the ride.

An interesting note -- riding home last night, even though it was fully light, blue skies and warm, I took the trail. I usually move to road routes as the weather becomes "nice" which brings people flocking to the trail. When I'm feeling especially tired I'll take the trail and just cruise, usually below the trails 15mph "speed" limit. So yesterday I'm doing just that and I was passed by a group of roller bladers in a pace line. Man these guys were fast, I was at about 14-15mph when they passed and they made good time as they went by. This seems sort of insane to me considering that I didn't consider safe to exceed 15mph and I can bring the bike to a pretty fast stop. Also they have been known to ticket fast bikers on this trail, I wonder if they treat fast bladers the same?
