50F, balmy, nice tailwind-what more could you ask for? I was dressed more appropriatly than yesterday with: shorts, 2 shirts, full gloves, skull cap-I can shed alot of that stuff for this afternoon's ride home when temps should be around 60F. I zipped along at about 21 mph for most of the ride and made up for a late start. Had to stop yesterday to check my rr. brakes. I think one of the pads picked something up and it was grinding againts the rim. I checked, saw nothing, and adjusted them while I was at it-the commute seems to be a good proving grounds where I can make most of my adjustments/tweaks. After finding nothing I figured it either fell out or, it was just that the pads had glazed over (I like to sand them with course sandpaper when this happens). They were quiet today so...... Should be a sweet ride home. Can't wait to put road tires back on the bike, probably mid-March when we don't have the possibility of snow. I'm going to try a 25 fr. / 28 rr. tire combination this Summer.
