Perfect weather, a little cloudy and cool, just right for an unzipped jacket flapping dramatically (so I like to think) in the breeze.

Drivers were uniformly nice, giving me plenty of room. Guy in a light blue restored convertible Thunderbird next lane over. I gave him a thumbs-up and a smile and he smiled back.

Days like this are why I put up with days like yesterday (four times, people came within inches of me so they could illegally pass other cars on the right).
