Decided to ride today instead of tomorrow as I have a dentist appt tomorrow and don't want to be a hot sweaty mess when I get there. But our Monday morning staff meeting is at 7 AM, so I had to get up in the 4 AM hour and leave the house at 5 AM.

For some reason I was faster today, about 5-8 minutes faster than my usual moving time in the morning. I did the whole 15.6 miles non-stop, not putting a foot down even once, and only 3 cars passed me the entire time - 1 near my house and 2 near the office. So 85% of my commute I had the road all to myself. It was dark when I left for a change, which was sort of nice. Humidity was killer, though. Felt like it had rained on me when I got to the office, with no clouds in the sky.
