Bikes: pacific elite 3.1 w/upgrades and street slicks, got an iron horse maverick now, cannondale sr800, gt gtr pro rival

40 degrees, 7.5 miles, avg 15.3mph, 29 minutes. took a few minutes longer than normal due to various headaches, one of my bike rack screws fell out and fell into my spokes so i used my quick release to hold it outside the frame, this caused the rack to rub the tire, of course i didn't realize this till I got home, also the nut holding my taillight to the rack came look and the taillight was rubbing the tire, I used a strap from the trunk to hold it up till i got home, so I will be going to depot to get a screw and loctite. also i got to use my horn today. I was riding in the emergency lane (going the wrong way on merrit blvd, i know i should cross the street, this is the only part I ride oppisite traffic) usually safe, but a moron pulls out making a right, making no attempt to get in a real lane, so I blow my horn so they look, I then went further to the left to hug the curb. Probally the most BS I have ever had during a ride. other than that it was fun.

Also one thing took me by suprise, I went to go left around a MTA, usually they pull out while I'm next to them, and this guy start to go, saw me and stopped til I got around him, very nice



also I had some daylight about the entire ride very nice, i leave at 5pm.
