How Was Your Commute Today?

[Catrin]

Beautiful ride in this morning! Fastest I've ever been on the bike (it helps to, basically, only have 1 hill on a 10.5 mile route), so my average actually got up to 14 With my riding position I don't really expect my average to get much higher but time will tell. I think getting more efficient at shifting will help in this department as well. Trying to remember to get in the big ring on the flats which does help.

Only managed to get stopped by 2 red lights - and the second was within my last mile or so when I was already cooling down. Did have one close brush with an inattentive driver but all is well that ends well. I did, however, forget my sunglasses for the return ride home tonight that is what I get for leaving home when it is still dark. Oh well, I won't be headed homewards until after 6:30 (probably) so will just have to grin and bear it.

Rides like this morning make me wish I was riding to work more than once a week! I will consider this after my vacation in July.
