Awesome commute today, gorgeous weather. Got to the light next to a pretty cyclist with a bright jersey and cycling shorts and the sort of road bike you usually only see in rather more upscale dreams; she looked like 53-11's sister. (A marked contrast to the red-haired Scot, a college student with enough backpack that his shocks compress at stoplights.) She let me block the headwinds for a minute or so (at 6' @ 176lb. on a mountain bike with a 40-lb backpack I'm the 4th largest land mammal and block more wind than the Pyrenees) then sped along by.

Almost worth having to be on campus! (PS: Apparently today was bicycle day -- the number of people two-wheeling around Austin today is up.)
