I took a different route this morning, and it was pretty tame...
I had to detour through Venice Beach for work, and it was nice to ride a different path than normal. Don't get me wrong, it was still packed with fools, but at least the scenery was a bit changed.
On a side note, I removed the Leo Vince sound baffle (I had put it in for the long ride to MotoGP) and the power increase was immediately noticeable. And it sounds great!
