Hey guys, now that I am commuting, I should join the thread. I ride a 15 mile commute in the SF Bay Area from Mtn View to Los Gatos every day.

Today's commute started off frustratingly with the restraining clip on one of my panniers missing a screw. Luckily it was on the floor near where they were sitting.

Once I was on the bike, the commute got wonderful. One of the nicest days thus far. Perfect temperature, and gorgeous blue skies with a beautiful sun. Light traffic, and I caught almost all the green lights.

Andy, what time do you head out? I left at 7:45 and I thought it was a much warmer morning than it has been lately. (The time change added a few nice degrees of warmth.)
