I took off this morning at 59 degrees in shorts and long sleeved microfiber shirt that I bought at REI last year as an under layer for when it's REALLY cold. Figured out very quickly that it will have to get a lot colder before I even think of covering my knees, but the long sleeves felt good.

Rode a new route that had me a tad nervous -- I haven't ridden on those roads before, but it was great. I did have to do a left-turn from a turn lane in a fair bit of traffic and that was new for me, but still, it was all good.

Yay!

I ended up going 10.4 miles, including a starbux latte and a stop off at the post office. It was great, and I could have gone a lot farther if I'd had more time.

And my suspicions continue to be proven true -- it wasn't the cycling that was kiling me, it was the heat. Now that I can bike when it's cool, I'm loving it.
