I'm logging some of my best times last week and this week. I've been aiming to build strength for a few months, and the payoff is finally coming. I'm now one of those so-called cat6 commuters.

Yesterday and today, I wore some hiking shorts over my bike shorts, for modesty. It's pretty convenient. My shorts are in various states of too-revealing or threadbare. I don't want to be too shocking as I walk in the office.

I noticed yesterday that the jersey I wore made me stink. Embarrassing in the evening, as I wore it to my singing rehearsal. I won't wear that jersey where smell counts. Today I used deodorant which I almost never do, and I wore a wool jersey. No smell at all.
