East of Eden

In this case, substitue Salinas for Milan... on the eastern edge of town, easing out in the morning traffic to the biways of the Greater metropolis.

I've bounced back pretty quickly after my chest cold and even ventured out at lunch today for a short bike ride.  The bike felt great, but I felt pretty lousy.  Pity to be such a slouch on such a fine machine.  The bike just wanted to go fast, while I just wanted to peddle bricks with my elephant legs.

It felt good to be out though and the weather was brimming 20°C and sunny!
