This was my first commute with my new bike, which is also my first attempt at building one. It was an excellent ride but slower than I'm used to, partly because I've only ridden about 10 miles since Friday. I enjoyed going up a couple of inclines (you couldn't call them hills) pedaling a 20 lb bike instead of the usual 40+ pounds.

Without my fairing I put on several layers expecting a cold ride but it warmed up to the upper 30's and it was all unnecessary.
