The sun is back out now, which made for a great ride in this morning - temps in the 50s, slight headwind but nothing nasty. I put a Blackburn Expedition rack on the bike over the weekend - man that thing is solid! Not a sound from it. I'll be buying some panniers this week to replace my backpack, which should make things more pleasant for my back.

On a mechanical note, I'm getting a bit tired of my rear wheel going out true (every second or third day) and don't really want to spend any money on this old rig, so I may have just found an excuse to buy a new bike! Woohoo!!!
