I did get in a ride Thursday, but finally s. Texas weather is cooperating. Today Lou and I got out on an overcast 25-mi blast. Both the ride and lunch were a feast.
Maiden ride for Lou's new Tomassini project - I tried to get some closeups of the beautiful lugs and Columbus shaped tubing, but his are better

I was road-testing the new stretch cockpit I added to the Italian Huffy this winter when it was on mag-trainer duty

I Love IT - good aero, good core muscle work, slow steering - and when I grab the cork ends, have quick steering and brakes.
We knocked out 12.5 mi south and got back to the upper trail a bit early before Thai House opened for lunch
It was worth the wait - great soup
killer Thai rolls with fish sauce - of course they're half-eaten
The stir-fry garlic pork more than replenished my worn-out salmon omelette from breakfast
Lou just can't seem to get past the curry here - he's in a curry rut
and a fast 5 mi back to the trailhead - couldn't ask for a better morning
ps - got up Sunday morning to just a little wet and it won't rain more before the Sunday morning sprint is done - gonna take the Italian Huffy downtown again this morning
