Fully recovered today! The weather was cool and partly cloudy, no wind, and I went up hills in gears I couldn't touch yesterday on the flats. To make it all the sweeter, the UPS dude delivered my new E-Bay saddle 20 minutes before I planned to leave, so I was able to test it today. (Selle Italia women's Octavia, felt pretty good.)

On the way home, someone in a little parasail engine flew toward the highway I was on. I couldn't help thinking how, if I were in the car, it would have been a dot in the rear-view mirror a moment later. As it was, it crossed the road directly in front of me, couldn't have been more than 30 feet up, and looped around to go back the way I came over the field next to me. Fun to watch!
