Mostly good week of commuting.

Trying a new route out for more distance, this one is safer, but longer than the first one I found. It's 20 miles each way.

Monday, did 20 miles in, and 7 miles home...dang, i'm hurtin...I think I over did it this weekend with working out with my dad on Friday, riding 20 miles friday, riding 15 on saturday, and working in the yard saturday AND sunday.

Tuesday, tired, pain...decided to call it and ride into work.

Wednesday, met a friend part way in on my 20 mile route, GREAT ride in, he rides a mountain bike so he drafted me all the way in :-) made me feel like a bad ass to be cruising and have him slugging it out behind me! wonderfull crisp weather, nice ride.

Wednesday evening, so much for that nice crisp weather, it's turned to gusty wind, and sleet mixed with a little rain. Ride from work to my wifes work (church thing on Wednesday nights) was brutal. head wind of 25-30 mph half way, cross wind of the same the other half. Mix in a little sleet, and a poor decision to go with shorts instead of tights, and DANG!!

Thursday morning, nice ride, good weather, pretty cold, but nice. Did my 5 mile in route, going to do 20 miles home
