Legs, and Cycling Karma

Good ride today, probably the best yet.
I discovered that my legs, despite having the musculature of a curtain rod, are actually fairly complex things, and I can sort of shift the workload around from quads to calves. At this point, my quads are more like unos and my calves are embryonic, but it helped a lot. I managed to get an extra gear up the hills, and my bike is only an 8-speed, so I pulled a bit more speed.

I've talked about Bus Karma before, and today I also had good Cycling Karma. Good Cycling Karma is rolling up to the light to find that someone has already hit it for you. Good cycling Karma is getting the insta-change at the pedestrian-controlled light. Good Cycling Karma is seeing the shadow-hidden bump in the pavement before your giblets get smashed into giblettes.

Overall, I hit work nearly 10 minutes earlier. Unfortunately, I can't climb stairs anymore...
