I'm so happy to be posting to this thread again! I just did my first bike commute since last November (and second one since moving back into town) and it was awesome. I knew the weather was going to be spectacular, so despite a sore rear from weekend riding, I knew I had to commute today. It was glorious!

I was carrying a LOT of weight (3 glass containers of food, a u-lock, a thermos of coffee, my purse, clothing and shoes and a water bottle!) and on a heavy bike, but my effort felt easier than the last time I did it and my time was faster. Maybe I'm finally getting back into shape? Or maybe I just got lucky and hit mostly green lights!

Looking forward to the ride home - I may have to add a few miles to it to enjoy the rare warm sunny spring weather we are having.
