    Got all 3 wheels off the ground over a local humpback bridge, managed to get 30 night miles in
    this evening, just under two hours, freezing, didn't really think about the bridge for once, just
    sailed into it at a little over 30mph, and what do you know, air, nice smooth landing, nothing
    broke, nothing fell off, maintained a huge grin for the remaining 8 miles to home, I love this
    cycling lark.
