Just the commute. But the ride home it was so dark that I got scared. Walked on the sidewalk part of the time.
Must get some lights. I have a red taillight, but i need more lights. Maybe a few Frog lights. I'll just festoon the bike with them.

I cycled the 20 miles half way home again. Great ride and a new personal speed record. My average mph for the whole ride was 14! And I powered up the bigger hill at 7.5mph at the slowest, much better than the day before. Felt very proud of myself and super excited when I got home. Luckily BF was there for me to brag to when I got in. The cat never seems too impressed when I brag to her. And aside from the great speed, it was a very nice ride. Sunny and warm and I saw a big flock of phesants scuttling around in a field.

I should start posting here.
After my knee problems (see my Cars are Evil! thread), I decided to see just how well I'm healing. I headed out to DH's work & we went to dinner on our bikes.
Swoop into parking lot, limp into restaurant, eat, limp out, swoop off. If I could just keep riding...
Anyway, we rode home, avoiding hills - which necesitated some {ahem} creative routing. The knee felt fine, but I wasn't going to get carried away.
All in all a great slow 15 mile ride. I'm good for the commute tomorrow.Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.
