I didn't see today's ride thread, so I created one (hope that's okay).

I altered my commute today, and it worked quite well. I came in a few minutes faster than usual. It's still 14 miles to work, but fewer lights downtown (I was in sync with the lights, what a great thing!). I also wore my new helmet, as the old one is three years old and was getting uncomfortable after three years of my head sweating in it.

I'm so glad to be able to ride my bike to work and home again. It really is a great way to start the day and dissolve the stresses of work (and I love my job!).
