22 miles round trip out Nemo Road until I ran out of shoulder, then back to town and up to LBH for a lesson in bike maintenance. There is a sign almost at the top of a killer hill that reads "Reduced Speed Ahead." It makes me laugh. I'm going about 5mph in granny gear at that point. Much slower and I'd be going backwards. I didn't walk it, though, so I'm improving. It was sunny and cold. I kept adding and subtracting layers depending on whether I was going uphill or downhill.

Then home for a PBJ, a quick shower and change and off to a rehearsal. I could have taken the van, but I took my bike instead. Added another 9 miles to my day. It was a good day for biking here in the Black Hills.
