Overcast and about 75 on my commute to school this morning. Cruised in the lane down 8th St. in a 25mph zone, doing 26-28mph. Xterra passed me in the turn lane, barely cut in before the stop sign. POS Century tried to pass me in the same manner after I sped up to 27mph, looked like a moron when he couldn't get back in before the stop sign. Usual idiot students on foot and bike to contend with. Thankfully I can trackstand fairly well, came in handy a few times today when I would stop and wait for a more shaky cyclist to make their move around me.

Caught the Xterra in the subsequent 20mph 2 lane zone, and proceeded to pass at 36mph (slight downhill+big ring) with a friendly wave. Started to rain a bit this afternoon, just hope it clears up and I can have a dry ride into work tomorrow morning.

Still sore from the 50mi on Sunday, 25mi on Intermediate to Expert level singletrack with several 1,000 feet of climbing through the day. 15 on the road in 20mph headwind at times, and 10 in the morning when I rode out to watch our cycling team run a Crit.
