Not bad today. Mid 60s but humid. Clouds, no rain. Slight headwind. I left about 10 minutes late because I stayed up too late last night and was tired.

Bike got tuned up yesterday. The new disk pads are nice and quiet, and stop well, but they're thick and rubbing a little on the disks, so I was a tick slower than normal. Still, a roadie popped out onto the MUP just ahead of me and I was hanging with him at 20MPH. It was hard with the knobbies AND the brakes AND the headwind, but I managed okay.

Rode home around 10:30PM last night from a little party. Fun stuff. At one point I stopped, turned off my light, let my eyes adjust, and then rode with just a front blinkie on the MUP through the woods. Lots of lightning bugs flying around and flashing. It was nice.
