cool temps upon us
this a.m. was the first coolish day of the season, 57 and windy. it therefore became the first tights day and the first jacket day, all rolled into one. it was actually a pretty brisk ride in into the westerly (actually flowing east, easterly?) wind.
the afternoon brough nice amts of sunshine, but still some coolish temps and wind. 'lance', 'sheryl' and i headed out for the quick 3m link to 'sheryl's'. now, a couple notes. first, it was brought to my attention that 'cheryl', as in 'sheryl crow' is actually 'sheryl', so change noted for future posts. and no, i'm not going to change the previous ones. and 'lance' had his first commute on his new Bachetta 'bent. it's 25lbs, about 10 or more lbs lighter than the Rans, and with a different hands and feets set-up, so he was pretty tentative the whole time. it looks fast though, and i'll need to get some fitness going to make sure and keep up with him in the future. so a good p.m. full of surprises. i went with 'lance' to Crescent Hill, and along Stilz and through the park home, taking in the hill up to 'chaufers' rest. actually i dropped in behind some roadies in between Seneca and Cherokee. just trying to keep them honest, a fat fred commuter running behind them.
well tomorrow is an OFF DAY!!!!. might get the out-to-oldham mileage. we'll see. but three good days this week above 20 (and one bail out Monday)
20.5m/7.3 a.m./14.2 p.m/13.0 (slow as usual)/60 degrees p.m. and sunny
