Went earlier today than normal and did not have to deal with any cars on the 4.3 miles in. Yesterday, had threee "run-ins" (i.e., two close passes and one woman trying to pass me just before we both came to a stop sign - duh) and dealt with many more cars throughout the ride. The difference was only leaving 30 minutes earlier. I'm going to continue getting up earlier - it is well worth it. In addition, I have an hour in the office alone - to read, drink some coffee, and just reflect on the great ride in. Well, and write in the BF...
