First day of classes for grad program last night meant I got in a few extra miles for the day, which was welcome. I'm excited for this semester's courses.

Absolutely beautiful commute this morning. Temp under 70, relatively dry, and I didn't mind the slight headwind since it was out of the north and keeping things cool.

One annoying thing... I put some moisturizer on my hands this morning, which apparently left a bit of a greasy, slippery residue. I've been riding sans gloves for the most part lately, so once I started sweating a little, my hands were slipping all over the place, no matter where I positioned them (hoods, ramps, etc.) I did get some relief in the drops, but I didn't want to ride all the way to work tucked down , so I had to just deal with it. I'll have to remember not to do that again.
