Surprisingly rainy commute this morning at 53F with light rain and winds from the SSW @ 4-6mph. I say surprising because when I checked the weather channel radar before I left the house, the area where I was riding was showing dry with rain to the West. It looked like the rain wasn't supposed to start for few hours. The rain started about 15 mins in to the commute, so I got a little wet, but not too bad. Took a slightly different route, which proved to be one of the fastest commutes this semester as far as average speed goes. I think I'm gonna stick with this route from now on. It's also 1.7 miles shorter than the other route I was taking. The only thing is that there's quite a bit more traffic.
Great commute home at 64F and overcast with winds from the SSW @ 6-10mph. Also took a slightly different route and it was the fastest trip home this semester. Had someone do something stupid I've never seen before. As I was leaving the campus waiting to pull out onto the main road, I was in the left part of the lane because I was turning left (and so cars could turn right if they wanted to). A pickup pulled up beside me and I was certain he was turning right. As soon as traffic was clear, he turned left crossing my path. How stupid and ignorant can someone be??? I mean, while he was sitting there, someone who actually wanted to turn right probably had to wait instead of being able to go because of him. It was a good thing I hesitated because there would have definitely been a collision if I went right away. Besides that, everything else was great.
