I was feeling a little crazy, and decided to ride at 2:45 p.m., on a Sat, in vacation-land, in the heat, with the traffic. I knew it would be frustrating, but I thought I'd consider it a lesson in patience and traffic skills. As little fun as riding a bike can be without falling off, but I'm glad I did it.

Oh yeah, and to top the cake, it was so windy there's a kite festival happening. 20 mph + gusts.
