nice to be back on the bike after a little traveling last week. i shudder in sympathy with those of you riding in frigid weather; here, it has been almost unspeakably gorgeous for the past week. sunny and dry all day, with clear nights and dry nights leading to cool mornings. only the occasional headwind on the way home, just to kind of test me a little.

i will be needing to get a bigger gear for my bike, however. yesterday i timed myself on the flats by the airfield and was pedaling at about 120, which is really unnecessary. keeps the appetite up, i suppose...
