More Bike Blogging

There. You were warned.

Scooter is hard at work training for RAGBRAI, and I'm so glad I'm not going. Seven days and 476 miles sounds, well, brutal. Add to that the sleeping on the ground and I'm just as happy not to be going; my lower back has been complaining a little about the mileage I'm putting on as it is.

Today's commute was smooth. The return trip in particular felt really good: 56 minutes, 13.8 mph. For me, that's about as good as it ever gets with the hybrid and the panniers.

Sightings: a truck driver who didn't cut me off at an intersection when he could have, but instead waved me through. A pair of inline skaters who (as all inline skaters seem to) completely ignored the yellow stripe dividing their portion of the path from that belonging to oncoming traffic. Many bunnies, even a few on the afternoon leg of the ride.
