Not a particularly interesting ride to start this thread off with, but someone has to start it!

I got to work and discovered I'd left my work clothes at home. I chilled for a little while, taking care of paperwork and such. Eventually I headed home to get my clothes. At home I noticed my lunchbox too! Back at work, thoroughly sweaty, I was happy to shower & change. I got an actual bike jersey, my only "real" biking clothes (I don't even have clipless shoes or bike shorts), recently, to see if I'd go through fewer changes of clothes each day if I allowed that to dry between morning & evening rides. That is, I change clothes just as often, but can do it using fewer clothes. Well, it sort of worked, except since I made that extra trip home late morning, and got much sweatier, the jersey wasn't dry when I had to put it back on in the evening. Ew.

On this extra trip I tried a slightly different route to cross Providence, a very busy and very fast street. Instead of crossing at the light, I went north a block and crossed at a stop sign. Waited for one side to clear, crossed halfway, waited for the other side to clear. The actual crossing is probably quicker and better at the light, but getting on the road I need to be on--Providence Frontage Rd--is a lot easier this way. The two roads (Prov & Prov Frontage Rd) are so close together, and there is a lot of traffic coming on and off Providence, that the intersection is kinda hairy at the light. So I think this is how I'll be doing it now.
