My commute usually starts like this:

As I leave my apartment complex, I tell myself: "dude just take it easy today, no need to race or go fast, just enjoy the weather and the ride."
As I leave my apartment complex, less than 3/4 of a mile, there is a small climb followed by a downhill onto the MUP that is a straight shot.
As I turn onto the MUP, "seriously, just take it easy, don't get all sweaty, just ride your bike like a normal person"
As I start down the hill, it might as well be.....



I blame my bike. It wants to go fast. I am not just saying that either, it really does. I have a hard time riding it slow.
