The Monday morning ritual:Oil chain, wipe off excess.
Pump up tires, 105 psi.
Check tires for embedded glass.
The sun's been up for about a half hour as I leave the house. The sky is clear, the air still. All I hear is the soft purr of my chain.
I enter my first corner. Hard tires "thuk-thuk" over ripples in the pavement. The bike feels smooth, taut and responsive.
Confidence builds.
I lean a bit more into the next curve, accelerating out of it with a smile on my face.
The work week that looms at ride's end suddenly loses relevence.

Was that photo taken with the Knarf-cam?
yes. bikes.
That's a truly great shot from the Knarfomatic mounted lens, it must be said, complete w. speed limit signpost as in-frame commentary.

Great photo, it played with my eyes some and I could easily imagine being on the bicycle.
