Oh man the weather this morning is practically perfect. Clear blue skies, low humidity, light breeze, temps in the 60s and 70s. Just got back from the Giro ride. The Giro group is definitely winding down now - more conversation; less hammering. We had a few good fast sections, but in general it was what I'd call moderate. Afterward a few of us went with Tim and Eddie down Canal St. downtown and then up St. Charles Ave., adding a few miles to their ride back home in the Western part of the city. Naturally we were making a nuisance of ourselves weaving through the slow traffic and all. Along the way, we linked up with Kenny who was just heading out for a ride. I turned off near the house with 70+ miles or so, kind of wishing I could ride all day. The rest of the group headed out down S. Claiborne to hit Jefferson Highway - not a very nice ride there, but Troy and his wife were in town and he had to be back in time for something or other and Jefferson Hwy. was the shortest way back. In a day or so we'll be back to the usual warm and humid weather I guess, but that only makes days like today seem even better. There's a lot of stuff going on in town this weekend, including the Voodoo festival in City Park that is developing into a pretty big deal, and I think we're supposed to do something with a couple The Wife's sisters who are in town.
