Thursday, April 6

Morning:
Check out the picture of Kenmore this morning vs Kenmore yesterday morning. Quite a difference although the temperature today was only 3 degrees higher at 38 than yesterday. Fast ride, minimal crap.


Evening:
Took Memorial Drive out to MicroCenter to buy some computer headaches. Still cold, seems the wind has kicked up a bit more. Red, wind-chaffed hands on the handlebars, cursing at the headwind. The sidewalk on the part of Memorial Drive close to MicroCenter/Trader Joe's degenerates into something akin to a dirt road (see exhibit B). My fine, crud-encrusted Italian touring bike is now forced into mountain bike-like service. I rarely ride the sidewalks, but this stretch of Mem is too ridiculous to do otherwise.
