My first ride all the way to work!  Beautiful day to start.  10.4 miles, 50 minutes, from N. Portage park.

 

See you guys on Milwaukee tomorrow!

Gene - I am gonna start stealling your pictures and using them as desktop backgrounds & screen savers! LOL! Always great shots! Thanks for sharing.

I am flattered.

A.M. LFP ton of fun!  P.M. Grand, Milwaukee, Elston, Damen, Lincoln, terrific.  The rear blinky light jumped off somewhere.  The batts were changed as the P.M. commute began.  Hope someone who can use it finds it.  ; )


Every night of this warm spell I've strapped the briefcase boombox to the xtracycle and wheeled that around to the back yard with some beers, hooked up my phone to the rig and watched Twin Peaks. It's been crazy idyllic.

I mean also I've been riding, but that's every day.

Ha, awesome. I'll have to agree - watching anything David Lynch while having some good beer is excellent times.

 

And, of course I rode today. However, today was a joyous occassion, as I finally installed a rear rack on my bike. I used a bungee to tie down my MW Vandal as best as possible, and then proceeded to really enjoy my commute. For whatever reason, the lack of back sweat or anything on my back somehow made my whole body less of a sweaty mess. Amazing!

 

It turns out the rack and pannier folks I rode with on the Frozen (Molten) Snot Century do know a thing or two. :D

 

Now I've just got to find some good panniers!

the only thing other than my shirt/jersey that I'd really even consider wearing on my back while riding  for anything more than a mile or so is a camelbak bladder -but it better be one of those fish-netty suspension ones that holds itself off your back.

If a four mile piddling around on errands counts.  There was a spit of rain too, so I'm counting it.
