I did the lbs slow ride again today. We averaged just over 18 mph for 30 miles. I really like this ride. It's nice and flat, easy pace, fun people. All we need to make it perfect is pie at the end. I may have to fix that myself.

It had been raining overnight, so I rode Puddin'. He got so muddy (as did I; I looked like I rode the Hell of the North). I left him at the lbs for new bar tape after the ride, and they totally cleaned him up, too. He's all shiny and new looking, with bright white tape. I'm not sure I made a good decision with that. I like white tape, even dirty white tape, but I'm not sure about white tape with a brown saddle on a red bike. I think I could have done something more fun. Well, white it is.

I commuted yesterday, 30 miles. After work, I brought some ice cream to my friends. I've decided if I ever TT, I should carry ice cream. I rode like the wind. It was still hard when I got there.
