Last nights trip home was good. First roundtrip day. I felt a little more weak than usual but took it easy and made it ok. Had to take a left turn from one major road to another. Took the left turn lane in line with traffic, the turn takes you downhill so I was able to totally keep up with traffic and make the next left turn onto a side street I take. I was almost maxed out in top gear.. it was awesome feeling.

This morning was good. Took a more scenic route that was probably even more direct. Legs felt good. I was able to make it up my one "hill" (big overpass) in a higher gear than I have before... and coming down I took the lane as to avoid the people moving into the right turn lane. Got a little honk from the person behind me when I moved over (had plenty of room) but then going down to the light I was going faster then everyone else, rode past everone waiting up to the front of the line. I love beating traffic!
