first commute of the new semester, and first real commute with the new bike

I didn't get much sleep last night so I was tired this morning but not so tired I couldn't ride in... a powerbar and some energy vitamin water put me in good shape to ride in

the ride in was good... it was fairly chilly (around 38 degrees) and windy... there was an unusual amount of traffic on one of the main roads I ride on for some reason... was tempted to filter but didn't

on the way back I had a brutal headwind (weather.com said it was 25MPH) in my face for pretty much the entire ride home. that sucked.
