Awesome. My times have come down quite a bit, too. from 40-ish (and up minutes) for my seven miles to occasional sub-30 minute runs. Today, I was back closer to 45, though, with a 25-30 mph headwind. Three words sum up my commute today:

Remnants of Ida

'nuff said. Can't wait to ride home, though. The wind's supposed to still be out of the north and still in the 25-30 mph range, so I may not have to pedal much. In fact, I was contemplating a sail-like contraption... LOL
