My route is too close to perfect for me to complain about that. For one thing, my "record" on segments is just not important. I have to stop at very few lights. There are very few, and most of the time, there is no traffic to wait for. I have to make fewer stops than most bike commuters around the world, even some in the boonies.

Last night's commute was nice. It was in the 50s, so I wore my summer gloves. I fell in behind a young woman, and I slowed to her pace. Forgive me for being a dirty old man, but I liked looking at her from behind. It took some effort to go at her slow pace, but I enjoyed it.

This morning, it's raining lightly and still in the 50s. I decided to ride in it, and it was fine. I should have worn my hat under my helmet and my gloves. It was very foggy, and visibility across the river was nearly zero. It was actually quite beautiful. I guess bike traffic was light, because I went very slowly (for me), and no one passed me. I'm relearning how to ride slowly, as I haven't done it much recently.
