great ride today! I slept in and was late today, but the upside to that was, I missed the morning rush hour! not having to deal with 30+ backed-up cars at Metzerott and University was just awesome. I was behind a bus for most of the rest of my commute, which was awesome because the bus cut down on my wind resistance a lot, but which also sucked because of all the carbon monoxide. overall one of my fastest and most fun rides in in a long time.

I got out early so my commute back was preceded by a ride around town and to REI to get some more chain lube since I was out, then up and down the Paint Branch. then a fairly fast and problem-free ride home, although I caught the tail end of afternoon rush hour and there was some traffic, it wasn't too much of a problem.
