I took a short ride today (12.6 miles) 'cause we're heading out of town to Knoxville, TN for the weekend. I rode well - still not 100% from my brief headcold, but averaged 16-17.5 in even the shortest straight sections of road. I looked a bit like Veronica's bag of skittles. At least my ... shoes and helmet matched the bike (silver/blue), my jersey and gloves matched (yellow), and my socks - well they are just cute (PI - pink flowers).
