What a morning

Just one of those days when I wanted to ride as slowly as possible along the bike path listening to the birds and soaking up the beauty of a spring sunrise. Icy patches as it got cold enough to freeze the rain and snow we were getting, but we had pretty much zero accumulation, a brief flurry at the end of the day but mostly rain. It was quite the difference from the day before.

So I just snapped a few shots. Stopped at a few spots. And wow. What great first commute on the bike after the time change. And I tried to get that damn camera level, but man it looked like they were wicked off - i guess i need a bubble level because i even tried to shoot it level - i guess maybe with the sun behind me I can't see the small preview screen well enough.

here are some shots. Oh and tech tip of the day. Instead of spending upteen dollars on some DT swiss beekeeper's wire, you can go to McMaster (and find some nice 27 gauge tinned (galvanized) steel), or hit your local hardware store and spend $2 on 100' of 28 gauge steel galvanized wire. Just in case you wanted to do this for some reason, and didn't want to order or pay through the nose for special wire... but then most people have probably found that out or don't care to tie and solder their spokes...

okay - NOW for the pictures
