Hey, I forgot to post this morning. I think.

Anyway, it was 56 and scattered clouds. The ground was still wet from rain yesterday. It was a very easy commute in a t-shirt and shorts, even on my Raleigh 3-speed. Very pleasant 70 degree temps in the afternoon. I wanted to get out of work early, but since I'm taking all of next week off too I had to take care of several things that came up at the last minute, so I just did about 10 miles in the afternoon when I was hoping to do about twice that.

I have to ride the 3-speed until my hybrid gets new cranks due to the 1997 Shimano recall that I just found out about. Well, I could also ride one of my 80s road bikes but none of them is really fit to ride. I could ride the old Olympic 12 but the frame is bent; I haven't had a chance to get the other two roadworthy yet.
