I was going to ride to the train, put my bike on the train, and ride (from the station near work) to work. One mile on the home end and about two miles on the work end. But I missed my train (before I left my house), and the next train would have made me later than riding the whole way, so I rode the whole way. My computer says I rode 12.85 miles in 56 minutes at an average speed of 13.6 mph, which is the fastest I've clocked on this route so far, so I'm happy. I hope I don't get in trouble for arriving at work so late. I don't know if anyone noticed. I just hope my bosses don't see this. Max speed was 34.9 mph. Riding home, I have to ride back up that steep hill, and the downhills aren't as steep going home, so it's always slower. Plus it will be dark, which makes me go more slowly.

It was 30-something degrees and fairly breezy. I wore a merino wool long-sleeve polo shirt plus a heavy wool sweater. I was plenty warm. I didn't bring another layer, so I hope the temperature doesn't drop much.
