What headwind?

Tonight proved to be an awesome night for riding. Kind of monumental too! I finally hit 5000 miles on the new bike. I "should" have hit that last year...but being a slackass I didn't. Hope to do 3000 *crosses fingers* more between now and September.

But anyway...pretty inspired 37 miles tonight. Its a great feeling to look down and see the quads splitting in half under the tougher pedal strokes. I was averaging at least a mile per hour faster up the longer climbs than I normally do...definitely a good sign.

Congrats to Dave Zabriskie who rode superbly to record victory in the Giro d'Italia individual time trial yesterday! I'm far from the most patriotic person...but it was a great feeling to see an American pop the bottle of champagne on top of the podium as winner for the day...Go Dave!
