Great commutes today.

26F and partly sunny with no winds this morning. My cyclocomputer was really lagging at times. I believe that was due to the cold. There was a surprising amount of friendly drivers given that it was Friday.

48F and mostly cloudy on the commute home with mainly tailwinds and some crosswinds from the WSW @ 5-7mph. Left late and hit some bad school traffic getting onto Roosevelt Ave from the side street. I thankfully had no issues pulling out, but it took a while for some of the vehicles in front of me to pull out. Had someone take a pic of me with their phone while I was stopped at an intersection. I also hit extremely bad stop and go for ~0.9 miles coming through downtown Palmer. That was due to road construction with only one lane open and police directing the traffic. I could have easily passed the slow traffic, but I just pulled into the middle of the lane and paced the vehicle in front of me the whole time. Average speed was roughly only 10mph through that section.
