Ride home last night was great, but I was feeling it by the end - took me 6 minutes longer than the ride in. First time I've done the full round trip, so I don't know if that will be the norm or not, but there was a distinct headwind for a good portion of the ride, and I'm pretty sure it's more uphill on the way home.

Anyway, intended to ride this morning, but was running very late getting out of the house, so threw the bike in the truck with plans to drive halfway and ride the rest. Hit the 4-way stop at the local high school (I never go through there at that time of morning) and waited - NO LIE - 15 minutes to get to the front of the line. Long story boring, I was now too late to ride at all, and drove all the way in with the bike in the pickup. Looked kinda dumb getting out of the truck in my hi-viz vest and riding shorts with knee warmers, carrying my backpack with the hi-viz cover, and walking to my office... We're headed out on vacation tomorrow, so I won't need the truck - hoping I can wrap things up early enough to ride home...
