I'm back to ignoring the speedometer again. I'm also into a solid pattern of 20-milers to and from work with hills. This once was about my limit on a regular basis but now I can do it fairly easily. The trick is hill climbing, something I've done more and more of recently. I treat the commute itself as nothing but a giant sprint.
Anyway the SJ area is very cool once again -- we'll be lucky to hit 80 today. Traffic's noticably lighter recently and the traffic lights were generally favorable today, making for a pretty fast ride in.
