Because it's one of the club's slower group rides, 12-14 mph average.

That's either a long commute, or you're hitting it pretty hard, for a commute!

Well-done! I bet you can already tell that you're going to feel cheated when you don't get to bike commute, from now on...

No bike commute yesterday; had to take the car to get the child after work yesterday. She declined to come and her grandparents declined to send her against her will (no discipline in that house!) so I drove around in rush hour for 1.5 hours for nothing. Called the non-emergency police for obstruction of parenting time. Documented it with an email. Can't decide if I should go to court and force the issue, or just try to pretend I'm childless until she comes around.
This morning, it was 67 °F and 70% humidity. I felt good riding the slow gravel bike in, but I sweat more than I wanted to when I stopped here at work. I'm going to try to slow down a bit more even, but if not, I may switch to an eBike or scooter for the rest of the season for commuting.
BobbyG, it's such a shame that there on the eastern range cities, you have that great bike infrastructure, but the bums took it over, so you can't even really use it properly. I don't understand why they would want to camp RIGHT ON or adjacent to the bike path, instead of on some relatively softer, more concealed area...
