today's afternoon commute was really fun, i put my panniers to the test. I went to my PT appointment with Knot, and then rode up to Beacon hill where I have to pick up my farm share. this is usually DH's job; but his bike's in the shop today so I did it. They were filled almost to overflowing, but I made it; all the way home with more than 10 pounds of extra weight. Beautiful weather, everything perfect.
