It's getting warmer - and wet ! Not much water falling from the sky, but wet roads. As I was using a fully-fendered commuter, I could ride with jeans and Converse shoes, and no additional protection against rain.

Nice surprise : the full commute http://www.openrunner.com/index.php?id=427521 (from the moment I say good-bye to the wife and kids, until I sit at my desk with a cup of coffee) took less than one hour (45 minutes riding, 59 minutes total). I need to cut this down, to be on par with other means of transportation, but I'm sure there's room for improvement ! I guess I could gain a few minutes on peripheral issues such as clothes management/packing/bike locking... *and* I could probably average more than 14.58 mph, but this is a long-term objective.
