Report on the ride home yesterday: Great! Headed from work to a pub for a "Handlebar Happy Hour" - hosted by the local advocacy group. Enjoyed some wings and beer and made my way from there to home. Went a bit of a shortcut - since I know that after 7 pm traffic is super light on the 4 lane that I can take straight from the city to home. Didn't realize my climbing would be almost double though! It was a nice ride, fairly uneventful. Here's the route:

Here's a picture of the sunset as I was leaving the pub



Ride in this morning was very pleasant. Was bimodal, so only a 4.5 mile jaunt through the city. It looked like it was threatening rain (was completely sunny when I walked my dogs before we left). Put the rain cover over my trunk bag and got a 1/2 mile and all was sunny again. I'll take it!
