First commute this year! It was dark, wet but not raining, about 35 degrees F. The climb in the middle of my route felt like it took for ever. A couple of times I started day dreaming and came back to go "What, am I still on this hill?!" 4 cars passed me in the 9 miles. I get off work early today so I can do my longer ride home and get 31 for the day. It's supposed to be nice, and best of all, will be in the day time.
