The weatherman got me scared thinking I would get caught in horrible rain storms, si left extra early to beat the rain. Consequently I beat traffic too and only stopped twice! Arrived at 7:am 2 hours early! AGH! I don't mind early - but please ...

Thinking I'll lower by bars an inch. I'm a tad too comfortable and a tad too slow. Love how quite my old Varsity is though. I achieved a new top speed of 32.6 mph. Funny thing is it doesn't happen on the steepest hill. It's a downhill grade though and I can tuck tight and crank for a good 3/10 mile with no fear because I have a clear line of sight and there are no side streets, you know? Also got my average speed back up but still under my lighter LeTour. I think last week mt average speed was 16.6? Today it is 15.7.
