I left early for work so I missed a lot of the traffic and the traffic lights were all green - 26mins/15km. I reckon I could probably shave another couple of minutes if I pumped a bit harder and conditions were right.:)

I left for work late so I missed a wonderful 10 mph. tailwind. Had to jump the train after only 4 1/2 miles.
:mad:
Got to feeling crummy at work (physically,) but as soon as I got on my bike after work I pepped right up. I wasn't in top form and I had a brisk, chilly headwind, but it turned out to be an absolutely wonderful ride, clearing my head from the "nasties" I suffered from earlier.
Maybe I'm cured?
:D

Not such a good run on the way home for me - 45 mins! Strong headwind, icy rain and heaps of traffic.:mad:

Funny how those great morning tailwinds turn into freezing, vicious headwinds on the way home! Since my commute is basically toward the southeast inbound and northwest outbound I get that a LOT this time of year. :eek:

At this time a year I tend to find it's a freezing cold headwind both there and back !
