Great ride last night

The ride yesterday evening got off to a late start. I had to get Sereina to her swim lesson, which didn't end until 4:30. I got on the bike right around 5:30 and planned to ride until 8:30. I'm glad that I decided to turn around at Swami's last night because it gets dark a lot sooner than it did just three weeks ago when I was out that late. I got back to the park at College at about 8:10 and it was nearly completely dark. I might just have to get the night riding equipment out already.

The ride was a nice 42 miler. As you can see from the video that the turnaround point is a nice spot to take a rest and a drink for 5-10 minutes or so. The north to south headwind was a bit much but made for a good physical ride back from Swami's. I'm also posting a new picture of my bike and the new Michelin Pro IIIs I just installed. So far, the best tire I have ever been on. The red, grey and black doesn't hurt either... Have a great weekend!
