Amanda, good for you on changing that back tire. That's not easy.

Today was sort of wierdly hot; only 78 deg, but humid and awful for running at 2 PM. I felt really overheated, and only ran 1.73 mi. Cooled off at home, and rode the Veloche Green Hornet to my weekly 2 hr of volleyball with friends. About 4 mi each way. I always ride as fast as I can on the city streets, top speed tonight was 22 mph. I do slow down when I need to for safety. Riding down was warm, but fine. Riding back, the air felt perfect. I love riding at night. No doubt more dangerous, but there's a peacefulness to it, despite the city traffic.
