I got a lot of commuting miles in yesterday:
  1. Regular commute into work, 2 miles.
  2. Downtown for lunch and back, 6 miles.
  3. Extended commute home, 11 miles.
This morning, it was nice: mid-40s and will reach at least 62 by midday.

I washed my two main commuter bikes yesterday evening with the garden spray bottle. The Priority is SO nice to wash, as I don't have the avoid a chain. The belt was getting squeaky on the pulleys under high torque, so it was time to spray off the inside of the belt. The ZiZZO has an oily chain, as it was my main winter commuter and the wax-based lubes weren't cutting muster against the road salt.

I have an eye exam across town at lunch today; going to commute to that as well for an extra 6-8 miles. Going to treat myself to some sporty photo-sensitive glasses for cycling this year. Maybe even fancy-pants Oakleys or Tifosis. I have to admit that the optical shop is not located well. It's on that ridiculous stroad with 6 lanes, a 50 mph speed limit, and a bike lane that cars merge through all the time.
