Cateye Velo 5, and 53.5. Any morning where I can crank the bike over 50km/h is a good morning. I’m lucky to start my ride on a short downhill run, so I often get my top speed of the day within a block of leaving my house. This is nowhere near my top speed, but it’s still a fun number 🙂

Reality blurs. It’s just me, in focus, and everything else just blurs by as I pass through. The only other way I could describe it would be like The Ring Effect, when Frodo slips that sucker on…
