i was able to ride Wednesday through Friday this week. Wed was quite perfect commute. warmer or less humid maybe and therefore warmer around 53F. I hit green lights all the way down 4th street downtown. about 6-7 lights all green. It was weird there were no cars really out wednesday morning. Plus Coworkers had Krispy Kreme doughnuts that she did not want to take home so I helped her with two of them

Thursday it was chilly 50 some degrees but higher humidity and felt pretty cold. Wind made my eyes water at first but decided to carry a coffee flask and that made the morning even better. A panera bagel from another coworker was very generous and delicious with my coffee. It was a tough ride home! I have decided that I would rather ride a longer route home than ride the reverse of my to work commute. Too much traffic and Dumb Drivers in the evenings. To work is more downhill so maybe I am just going faster so the cars are less frustrated. average around 15.8-16 miles an hour to work and less coming home. I got home grumpy and the Mrs. did not like my attitude. She said "but you rode your bike!" Almost to say you are not supposed to be grumpy.

Friday warm morning but still pretty humid. Wind made the eyes water but coffee in my cubicle set me up to power through the day. I rode home a different route and it was one of my fastest times yet. It was a good ride minus one stupid Mercedes SUV driver. Passing me in a construction zone with other cars coming the other direction.

PS my legs are kinda tired I also went mountain biking the Saturday before this week. Highs in the low 50s next week. Might have to find alternative transportation. I don't have the equipment for rides in that cold of weather.
