A pretty good ride this morning. It wasn't really my commute, it was my wife's commute. I was just escorting her. Then I did some errand running, 3 stores. Stopped at Long John Silver's and tried their new fish taco for lunch. Not bad.

But that darn Sun was just a bit too strong. I'm a third shifter, so my commutes are at sunset (or thereabouts) and sunrise. The directions involved are such that the Sun is at my back both ways. I think I'll avoid changing my schedule. This works too well for me.

Coming home is a long, fairly steep hill. Most bicyclists I see on it (not enough, by the way) are walking their bikes. Right lane was closed for repairs. About halfway up traffic came to a standstill. I had the unusual opportunity to make them eat my dust. that was nice.
