Great weather out. Sunny with some clouds, About 70 degrees (will get up to 80). Was making my best time ever (16-17mph), when at mile 16 my rear wheel decided to spontaneously untrue itself. Had to wobble the last 3 miles into work at a slower speed, making the final average 15mph. I have no idea how I'm going to get home.

One more thing of note: today was the first day I commuted since I got my rear light. Set it to blinky mode, and it was amazing how many more cars were in the left lane to pass me than usual (as opposed to staying in the right lane to try to squeeze by me). It is truly astounding how much more visible it made me. And I thought that wearing brightly coloured orange/yellow shirts would be enough in the past, but this is a whole new experience for me. Visibility rocks.
