the commute in? well, I've had better. first off, I was really late. and I was fighting a pretty stiff headwind on the main road I take into campus, and got buzzed by no less than three cars in a row on one half-mile downhill stretch of that road (I was riding in a pretty much center-ish lane position for anyone who's curious). due to the headwind I decided to take the trail route in (a slower detour down the Paint Branch Trail instead of the hammerfest down Paint Branch Drive). then later on another campus road I got cut off by a scooter (of all things) making a sudden u-turn. blah.

the ride back was great though... temps in the high 60's so I left my jacket in my locker and did a ride around town, stopping at REI to get some new cycling shorts, then back around to the CP shopping center and through campus, went up and down the PB Trail, then I rode the tailwind home. went up and down the big hill twice. really fun ride back, no problems there.

oh yeah and I saw two other commuters, one on the ride there and one on the ride back.
