PM commute report update:

I left a few minutes before 3 after wasting time changing into my cycling clothes and arranging all the junk that i had brought to school yesterday. I decided to take the arm and knee warmers with me, along with my vest, because I really had no idea what the temp. was outside. I left my tights, ls jersey, wool socks, and booties to take home tomorrow, with my suit I wore all day. Anyway, i made the decision to go home the same way I came, since I remembered last year I had done the alternative with my husband on a weekend and it was around 42 miles round trip. The trip home was much faster and pleasant. Of course,it's mostly downhill, until I get to my street, which is a major climb. There is a lot more traffic, but I was defensive and managed all of that with no issues. Was very conscious of the parked cars and people running across the street in West Concord center; it sounds silly to those who ride in the city, but I don't have too much experience with this and everyone seems so distracted. The only car incident occured right after I crossed Rt. 2, on Rt. 62, going toward Concord Center. Some guy tried to turn left in front of me, but I saw it and slammed my brakes. He laughed and waved at me,so I just yelled A-H at him and saw people in the other cars laughing. Everything else was non-eventful.
Total commute 35.2 miles, av. 14.8, 2 hrs. 23 minutes
