Good ride home yesterday. This morning's temp was about the same as yesterday's evening commute (i.e., about 15-20 degrees warmer than the ride in yesterday AM). That brought out some more commuters, too. Yesterday, I only saw three on my way to work. Today, I saw that many in the first mile and came across a couple dozen more by the time I get to work.

With a slight tailwind and a bunch of energy this AM, I had my quickest commute to work in quite some time.

Just got the word from the LBS that the black Surly LHT frame is finally available again through their distributor in the 56 cm size I wanted, and the order was placed! Should take about a week for the frame and requisite parts I ordered to come in. Let the countdown to the final build begin!
