Slept in and left really late today, meeting a friend on the trail. We rode in together (until I broke off at the 14th st bridge) at a leisurely 15 mph avg chatting along the way. I couldn't believe all the other riders out there zipping along in every direction. At the intersection of 15th and Independance I was one of about 5 riders waiting for the light, a virtual bike traffic jam-I'm usually by myself or among 1 or 2 others at most. It was really neat to see everything from beaters to nice road bikes to mountain bikes and recumbants. I guess that's what I miss for leaving at 5:30 in the morning. Other than that, I'm working on a second consecutive "all ride week" and my new bike seems to have all of the kinks worked out of it.
