It was a good ride in, but I got soaked. 57F and rain with winds from the N @ 8mph. Today: rain = more passing distance from vehicles. During the beginning of the commute, about 3 miles from my house it turned into a dorrential downpour and was like that for a good 15-20 mins. I couldn't believe how many cars there were that didn't have their lights on. Once near the college, I tried out State St to the campus. State St itself wasn't bad, but getting from Wilbraham Rd to it took forever due to heavy traffic and poorly timed lights.
Unfortunately this afternoon I cheated and got a ride back home from my friend. I was and still am feeling wicked drained and tired, probably due to getting very little sleep last night. She has an Explorer, so my bike fit very nicely in there with the back seats dropped down.
