If I hadn't overslept yesterday morning, I would have had a dry commute both ways. But I drove and brought the bike, then rode home yesterday, then rode back this morning, and it's very wet and rainy this morning. And I was tired. Yuck, 11.x MPH average, 79 minutes moving time to go 15.5 miles.

*edit* almost forgot, close call this morning on a 5-lane arterial as someone was pulling out of an apartment complex driveway. I could see them coming, and I could tell they weren't really slowing down and intended to pull right on out while ignoring the stop sign. But I was in the left tire track of the right lane, and they pulled out just behind me as I yelled for them to watch out. I saw the car stop in the middle turn lane and sit there. Not sure if it was because I took them by surprise or what, but they sat there for awhile. I thought about turning around and letting them know what just happened, but didn't.

If I had been riding at the far right edge near the gutter with the exact same timing, I would have gotten creamed for sure.
