I rode to work for the first time in over three weeks. I was waiting for the spirit to move me, and it moved me today. Well, my legs did some of the work, too.

My tracks from this morning

Last night, the weather forecast for today called for cloud cover and a small chance of rain or snow. This morning, it improved, and the sky is clear. Rather than my usual headwind, I had a mild tailwind. The wind probably won't change much, so I'll have a mild headwind this evening.

I overdressed a little, so I was overall comfy but slightly hot.

I've been lifting weights lately, and it seems to be helping. Climbing my few hills is easier than before, and I'm using much higher gears to climb. Lifting weights really does build strength!

If you zoom in, you can see the George Washington Bridge which I often feature in my commuting route pictures.
