Today was gorgeous compared to slogging through 44F rain the first time 'round!

I quit smoking 105 days ago, and am trying to shed the extra 10 lbs that snuck up on me... I guess with full pannier and extra poundage I'm bound to feel pokey!

This better get better

CONGRATULATIONS !


My commute today was Great! A little windy. But better than the crap we've had to ride in the last few days. This morning had some fog that was cool. I could see the beam coming off of my flashlight 'er' I mean my headlight. The aftn was 64f and sunshiny. I wore a long sleeve jersey, cotton shorts and sandals with the socks on. I listened to Pink Floyd on the radio. Life is groovy.
