How Was Your Commute Today?

My commute is getting easier and easier as the days go on, and also more enjoyable. Especially the ride home, which is a lot of me gently rolling down hills being excited about unwinding from my day at work with some exercise.

I've been doing better going up the hills, and even conquered the steeper hills, on yesterdays commute.

Not so bad! I rode really slow this morning, and managed to arrive with a dry bra--success!!! Amazing tailwind back tonight. Can't beat that! Voeckler's still in yellow, I'd call this day perfect!

Coming home tonight: 90 degrees, breezy, 14% humidity. Probably sounds like heaven to those in the midwest, and I admit it's pretty nice as long as my water bottle is full!

I'm still trying to ride about once a week. Today it was overcast and 78 with just a little headwind in the morning (actually, there is a headwind almost every time I ride) and my average was only 13.3 riding in.

Coming home, the clouds dissipated and although I mis-remembered that it was going to be 91 when I left, after I got home I checked the hourly weather chart and apparently, it was closer to 101. My commute is 10 miles each way. I feel okay for the first 5 miles or so, and it helps if I stop at the convenience store and fill up my water bottle with ice. By the last 1 1/2 miles, I have usually hit my heat limit, and start to wonder if I should stop and cool off. Even though it is downhill (ever so slightly), I usually need to lie down and drink something cold as soon as I get home.

My commute sucked! My car blew a radiator hose and I got to hang out with the AAA guy and spend like $100 on car repairs and be late for work. Shoulda rode the bike.
