as I left the house this morning about ten minutes later than I had planned to, I cursed myself once again for not beating the morning rush hour. but it wasn't nearly as bad as it usually is. a little backup at the one light I cross, but no big deal. I was behind a bus for about half of the commute in which of course meant decreased wind resistance. really smooth ride in.

I did an 10 mile or so ride around town and the trail before heading back home through an 18MPH headwind. great ride back other than the headwind.
