So I made a late New Years resolution to try to ride to work maybe a couple days a month. Today was the first day. Weather was gorgeous, slight tailwind, low 50s; the kind of day that has me checking how many vacation days I have available. (But no, I decided to stay at work ) The ride went by a lot quicker than I remember. I was navigating here and there and all of a sudden I popped out on Chapin Road (a few miles from the office) and thought wow, I'm almost there.
