Yesterday on the ride home I took an alternate long route. It ended up having a pretty steep hill compared to the more-southward road I normally take in that part of town (Midvale). There also were no shoulders, crappy-or-nonextant sidewalks, and lots of cars, so I don't think I'll be taking that route again.

I got a late start this morning, and so it was hotter than usual, with the ramification that I was a little sweatier than usual getting in to work. Rinsed my face off in the bathroom, but there are no showers or anything here. Luckily I don't sit close to anyone in my office .

I've got another alternate long route planned for this evening (trying to increase my daily bicycle mileage), comprising parts of my normal route and parts of routes that I take for recreational rides, so I'm familiar with them and looking forward to a pleasant ride in this evening.
