Great ride in this morning. I was slow...pacing about 12.5 average mph, but I did a leg day at the gym last night so it was nice just spinning along. It was around 40, but felt colder with the overcast sky and very humid. I left later than I wanted, about 0830 - but the upside to leaving after 0810 is traffic is almost nonexistent. I won't get to leave work now until 1730, but that's okay. Traffic is usually pretty heavy, but until the University starts back up, the route I take isn't terrible (all other ways out of the city are, though!).

I am going to be looking at another bike tomorrow for commuting duty. a '92 Miyata 721. Pretty excited about it! I kind of swore off aluminum, but it does have chromo stays and fork, and supposedly comes in under 22 lbs. That's a good 10 lbs lighter than my Peug. It will be nice having more options in the morning.
