Bikes: Raleigh Tarantula - with peeling decals, scratched paint, some green paint on the bars, purple aluminum brake levers - it was a freebie, and at least no one wants to steal it!!!!

Light rain and headwinds on my way to campus this morning. Haven't bought my rain gear yet, so got a bit damp - but, found out my el cheapo $15 CCM trackpants are amazingly water resistant, and dry very quickly (~10 min). Pleasant surprise. No fenders though - the spans on the newly purchased full fender set are too short. Krikey. Wished I was back home with my family when the front wheel spray started hitting my face! I think I had a nice "cyclist butt" (dirt streak) when I arrived, as well.......

Ride home: overcast, about 10C, dry roads. MUCH better. I'll try to post some pics of the cherry trees in bloom in the commuter pics sticky......tomorrow, though.

Cheerio!
