despite the wind (it wasn’t windy when i departed), i took my road bike out today and i remember why i bought it. the easy shifting, the quick response, the acceleration, the sheer lack of weight…like a breath of fresh air. the weather has got multiple personalities today. it was windy at dawn, calm and mild when i walked anna, hot when i was biking, and now it’s back to blowing our wind chimes around. i’ve opened up all the doors and windows…ahhh…like a breath of fresh air. wait, it is a breath of fresh air.

11.91 miles / 55.06 minutes / 12.9 mph average speed (this number was higher before i took a detour to whole paycheque). it appears that i’ve put 500 miles on this bike as of today. and i hit 25.5 mph as a max speed even with a headwind. i was going so fast my eyes watered. so much for taking it easy.
