Was going to ride Thursday morning, but when I woke up I was just way too sore from spending most of Wednesday taking field measurements of industrial floor trenches at a project site. That meant LOTS of bending and kneeling down, and my quads were just killing me Thursday.

So I took the car and bike, and rode home yesterday. I left around the usual time, but traffic seemed unusually light, which was really nice.

This morning I was late leaving, about 6:25 instead of 6:00, and I could DEFINITELY tell the difference in traffic. Many more cars passing me than usual. One azzhole decided to honk behind me while several oncoming cars passed, then yelled out something I couldn't make out as he passed me. I'm sure it was something about "get offa tha road!" but oh well. Honking means he saw me, and he still made a full lane change to pass.

So this morning makes THREE round trip commutes this week, first time I've ever done that since I started in May of last year. I also haven't missed a day of commuting since I was sick in mid-July. And I surpassed last year's October miles total yesterday, and still have another week of riding to go!
