Did the short commute today and carpooled with The Better Half. Had a 50 miles ride yesterday and did not feel like riding from home (plus, I am fairly certain I need to replace the bb on the Peugeot and have been too lazy to do it). The sun wasn't out, and temps were pleasant but boy was it muggy. I decided I needed a coffee stop on the way to work, so I thought I would skip one of the bigger hills by going a little bit out of my way. Nope, I just ended up on an even steeper hill. At least it helped burn off the brownie I had ($5 min purchase to use a credit card at the coffee shop). I'll have to keep trying alternate routes. It's all part of the fun!
