My commute was LONG. We spent the weekend in the country and drove down this morning instead of last night. We joined rush hour traffic, and it took two and a quarter hours. But Friday evening, I left my bike in the office, so I get to ride home tonight.

This weekend, I took a long hard ride to make sure I'm ready for Hillier Than Thou. Saturday, I rode 104 miles and climbed 5,000 feet. I think I'm ready for Sunday, which will be 63 miles and 7,000 feet.
