Rainy and 58F this morning. I blazed to work at an average speed of 8.6 mph! Traffic was horrific. I could barely filter and b/c of the rain, I used my clipless shoes which I'm still not comfy with in traffic. I saw more fire trucks and ambulances and cops running to and fro this morning b/c of accidents and fender benders. Typical cager mentality is, "I hate being stuck in traffic. I'm gonna accelerate from 0-45 mph in the next 20 feet to keep anyone from cutting me off." Then they crash into something and cause more traffic. And slowing me down to 8.6 mph avg.
