Wasn't too motivated to ride in this morning. The sky is overcast with a 'chance' of rain, and 52 degrees with 100% humidity (fog / haze over everything). Still, I knew if I started making excuses not to ride, that'd be a self-propagating thing, so I saddled up and went.

Needless to say, the ride was great. I was so happy once I got going, and for whatever reason, I managed a whopping 50% green-light rate (I only have 4 lights to begin with).

I had my best pace for the commute too. When I started commuting about a month ago, I had an average of 13.1 mph. Today, I averaged 15.2 mph. I know that I'm spinning a higher cadence along the flats, and I'm definately carrying higher speed up the hills (except for 1 doozy that really drops me to a crawl, even in the lowest gear).
