First ride to work in a couple weeks. Mellow temps in the low 50s and pretty quick roads. I beat the train at the crossing by a minute or two; as I rode away from the crossing the bells started to go off and the gates came down. (The train was a longish freighter that would have taken at least 4 or 5 minutes.) The ride home will be broken up by a softball game about halfway.... hopefully I'm not too sore to ride the rest of the way. Probably won't be home until 9 tonight.

Encountered a few pairs of cyclists this morning; they all had decent lighting and hi-viz jackets. I passed one couple and dinged my bell to let them know I was coming through and the woman said, "I need to get one of those!"
