Nice commute today! I'm very pleased to say my girlfriend is joining me some days. When we ride together we climb Capitol Hill via Interlaken Park, which is a nice change of routine for me, and makes for a real pleasant commute with a mile or two of quiet parkland in the middle. It was dark when we left at 0630, but although the road was wet, it wasn't raining at that point and there wasn't any wind. My new brakes (Tektro 720's, largely thanks to posts on Bike Forums) are fantastic, it felt good to be on a steed I could actually stop again!
