First commute of the year! Woo hoo!

It didn't start off too well but on the bright side, I guess I got the problems out of the way before I left the house. As I was putting air in my tires just before leaving, I was less than careful and managed to pull the valve stem right off the tube! (Note to self: don't try to pull off the pump valve from funky angles......) Luckily I had my spare tube all ready, plus it was the front tire, so after putting the new tube in, I was ready to go. The trip itself was pleasantly uneventful and surprisingly quick. Of course this was the first commute with my road bike so it may have made more of a difference than I expected. I'm still scoping a home for my baby INSIDE the building but I've already got a couple lined up. All in all, a great morning and an excellent first ride to work for the season!
