Back to work from a week's vacation, rode the whole 45 km commute. Took 1hr 54 minutes with the big fat commuter mtb bike, but was a pleasant ride. A few light showers and warm and humid, but more fun than driving. After about a half hour of riding I noticed a front fender brace no longer attached, but managed to keep it out of the spokes the rest of the trip.
Brought 2 water bottles, managed to almost finish them both. The exciting part of the trip was the switchover - full water bottle out of handlebar bag and empty one into bag whilst travelling.
