Ride report: I screamed today
Rapha Rides The Tour of California from RAPHA on Vimeo. I have 3 days of meetings in the morning and working at night. It sucks. The weather has been awesome as we are in the middle of a crazy warm snap that ended tonight. The past few days we have had temps in the 20s and, not being one to miss it, have been biking to work in shorts and a T shirt. I knew it wouldn't last and was very happy because all the seasonal bikers have been out crowding the roads and smoking while shifting gears. I passed a guy on a carbon road bike only to hear him change gears like a paranoid chick changes dresses before a first date, or any chick for that matter, and he passed me. Poor guy fell so far behind it wasn't even funny. Not because I'm fast but because my shoes aren't dunks and fit in my clips just like pants are raveys and don't act as a parachute. Then I yelled at a guy who thought that opening his door slowly made a difference to someone who had no place to go. Sometimes I feel bad for yelling at people but today wasn't one of those times. I got home to a great stew that my sister in law made and two beers in the fridge. I clicked on the web and saw this video and now all I can think about is how great life is. Plus it's 2 degrees and there won't be any kooks on the road. v(*-*)v-oooOO

vid's sick. rapha stuff is sick. it's been hovering around zero and sunny for the past few days and sunny, also sick. it's nice to shed my winter coat, and just wear a couple sweaters. life is good.
I was wrong about the kooks. On my way home I encountered, yet another, road construction sight where the traffic was line up for kms. This is the season for construction as all the wards try and use their budgets. After the construction I finally got up to speed only to get cut off by a matching look kook couple that came off of the sidewalk. Matching black bikes, black backpacks, camo pullovers, no lights and they had sun glasses on at 10pm. This spring I may set up drops on my bike.
