Nice ride this morning. Low 30sF, sunny, no wind. I was just loping along happily. Passed a young woman on a cruiser. We exchanged good mornings. Later I spotted something dark in my mirror, so I decided to do some actual work. Spooled up to 20+ and held it for a while. Then at a red light the dude came up behind me. Nice road bike. He did some circles waiting for the traffic to clear, then ran the red light. I had a block to ride until work, so when the light turned, I spun up and caught him right before I turned.
Ride home today will be the scenic route once again. There's a variant I want to explore. I'm not even sure it's bike-accessible, but I'll see.
