I had a great ride today as well. I did a trial run of the commute last Friday and it took me 1 hour and 45 minutes but this time it only took me 1 hour and 30 minutes. I have a new cyclocomputer and am not sure if it counted the time I was stopped at the Pit Stop. The weather was kinda crappy: 50s, overcast, and a bit sprinkly but that's ok. It was great seeing everyone out on their bikes.

I nearly didn't commute to work by bike today as we had a strong WSW wind (i.e. headwind going to work). Anyway, I thought I'd brave it and at times I felt I was going backwards
I usually take between 15 and 17 minutes to get to work. Today it took me 20 minutes.
By lunchtime the wind had dropped a bit and was veering round to the West so I had a side-wind on the way home. Bit hairy at times but I managed to get home in 16 minutes (uphill all the way). My best time has been 17 minutes until today and I upped my maximum and average speeds. Must admit my little legs were going like pistons LOL. I must be getting fitter

My work lives with me!
He's my stoker, though. Hmmmm, maybe I'll have a bike with work day today.
I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
