Dang!

Tater's bugs are really starting to bother me! They were out in force again this morning, and it's just not pleasant to have a bug-covered shirt on when going in to pay the water bill! Pesky when walking into the bike shop too, but still, that was a fun thing to include in my ride this morning: gotta pay the water bill, and what the heck, I'll be about a third of the way to the nearest LBS if I do that, so how about checking into a jacket now that it's getting cooler out?

SO, got a PI Whisper jacket in that nasty screaming yellow color that I modeled for my daughter when I got home: see, Alicia? NO ONE can possibly have the excuse that they didn't see THIS in front of them! I also had a peek at the Specialized Dolce's too. They're on end of season close out, and have SERIOUS bike lust at the moment. Good thing I didn't get on one and ride. I might have spent a whole lot more money, and then I'd have a cranky DH tonight....

Took "the long way" home, since there's a canal I had to find a bridge to cross, and I missed a turn. The long way also stretched out the climb from "town" to my house -- it's much easier in teensy bits than doing it all at once! Good morning for a 12 mile ride! Oh yeah: tried out my new Shebeast tech tights for the first time too this morning and BOY are they toasty! I was MUCH more comfortable moving than being indoors in them, never mind how they show off my many curves! They're very comfy, once I got the extra leg length gathered properly around my ankles instead of bunched in my "knee-pits." Too warm to wear the new jacket home, so I put it in my handlebar bag, and it fit!!!

Fun morning. Gonna do it again tomorrow!
