Hot Wednesday Night Worlds

It was a good night for a ride, I committed myself to sitting in since I gave blood on Monday.   I wasn't sure how this would effect me.  I'm pretty sure I have taken a hiatus from giving blood all these years from May through September since I like riding and it's pretty much the opposite of what dopers do.  To my surprise I felt pretty good, the heart was working harder than usual I'm sure.

I felt blind riding without PowerTap numbers.  I have grown accustomed to looking at them and regulating effort based on what I see.  I use it like a tachometer in a car and possibly don't push hard enough.  I also missed having mileage to regulate effort.

Maybe the technology has become cumbersome and riding without it is better.  Maybe I won't fix mine or replace it.

People are getting to lackadaisical and fanning out all over the road without regard for traffic.  Drafting is good, but being oblivious to traffic is going to cause a problem.  When someone calls out that a car is back riders should attempt to get out of the way to some degree.
