Warmest morning commute in weeks if not months today with temps in the mid-50s F. It rained yesterday and last night, and was supposed to quit by early morning, but it was still raining when I got up. The rain had trickled to very light sprinkles by the time I left for work and the roads were still very wet. That's what fenders are best for in my book, handling road spray. My legs were fresh after two days of slow, recovery paced rides over the weekend, so I had my fastest commute in months. Passed another commuter at the 12-mile point with just a wave since I was making such good time. Normally I would have tried to chat briefly since I so rarely see other bike commuters on my route, but I was on a mission at the point -- and I finished my commute in near record time.
