I am off on Wednesdays, so I always try to get in a good ride if I can. Today's ride was great...36 miles, around 50 degrees with a light breeze. This was the first ride I've had in the 2-1/2 weeks that I've had my new bike where nothing major went wrong. No flat tires, no shifting problems, no getting chased by dogs, no almost getting hit by cars. It was really wonderful.
