Just ran, no timing. Felt good to be cleared to run. Time to build my base mileage back up.

Temperatures jump up to the 90's today. My ride started out fast, then gradually cut down to around 16mph. I was aiming for more miles than I logged, yet trimmed down to a metric century. Not too crowded out, since it seems like people are starting to make that labor day switch. For me that means I'll be ramping things up!

Dutch is making noises. Stopped in my bike shop to buy some bottles. I mentioned the noise and they took a look. The quick work didn't remedy everything, so I'll have to drop Dutch off this week.

On my way back from Philly I believe I saw Team Fatty Philly co-captain Jen on the SRT on Kelly Dr heading towards the Art Musuem. No matter it was a Team Fatty Jersey.

Nice night out, in the lower 70's and dry. Good to know I haven't slowed down too much.

A bit on the cool side with drizzle. Looks like they are doing some more work on the Church Road bridge, which was kind of disappointing, since I was looking forward today to biking over that new bridge for the first time.

Tonight was a preview of autumn, without the leaves. A bit rainy, while cool enough that I was comfortable wearing my wind breaker. Enjoyed my slow quiet ride in the rain.

Of course school isn't back in session, so the high school kids were out after dark. A car full of them gave the classic "use the side walk". The best revenge is keep up with them to each traffic light, stopping, watching them suddenly fall silent to your presence. Sorry kids, I'm a roadie. Just wasn't putting up roadie speeds tonight.
