Pretty nice ride in this morning, sunny and not too windy, though I felt a little underdressed for the 8C/46F or so temperature. Used panniers instead of a backpack for the first time today - it was fine for the ride, but not so fine carrying them around off the bike.

Couldn't resist a little commuter race after a guy on a cyclocross bike got the jump on me going up a hill. I managed to get past him, but he was pretty strong and was never far behind. He turned off somewhere before the top of the hill - good thing, because I didn't want him to hear how hard I was breathing!
