First commute since last week. Had Monday off for the holiday and then was dealing with a nasty chest and head cold. Finally felt well enough to come to work today. It was nice to be back on the bike, although general residual achiness, raw lungs (from all the coughing), and just feeling kinda drained of energy from the illness made this morning's ride in a little tougher than it usually seems. The 15 mph headwind, while not extreme, didn't help matters either.

At least my cold had good timing. I know that the last couple of days would have likely been non-bike days anyway compliments of the ice/freezing rain that fell on Monday night.
