First commute in well over a year, and my first from the new house and to the new office. It's about 4.5km (3 miles).

Quiet streets for most of the ride in, but incredibly bumpy roads with a lot of grit and debris. There's building going on along much of the route, so I suspect gatorskin tires might be a good investment. Route down to underground parking is sort of scary, but I have access to a wonderful (supposedly secure) underground bike parking room. Some people are using the flimsiest of locks, which made me feel that my bike might be a little safer than the others. It's a nicer bike too, so maybe not. Room has a water fountain at its entrance, which is going to be good for the summer commute.

There's going to be a nasty left-turn across streetcar tracks on the way back, which means I might try to find a different route back.

Felt so good.
