Beautiful spring day, did a 40 mile club ride today. It got into the 80s, which actually felt hot to me after the cold whether we'd been having, but I better get used to it or I won't survive summer! A friend and I were both riding our touring bikes, and a racing team passed us, and one of the 'kids' shouted out, 'hey, look at the old-fashioned bikes.' My friend was riding his brand new waterford adventure bike, and I was riding my new travel bike, and I guess these kids have never seen touring bikes equipped with Brooks Saddles before. But, just to make a point I jumped on the back of their peleton and wheel sucked for a while, although I also blew myself up and paid for it dearly when the serious climbs started. I can't wait to spring forward!
