I did the 9 mile half-commute to the carpoolers house today. Its pretty dark outside at 5:30am now. Gotta got some more batteries for my Wally World headlight. Temperature is perfect (60 degrees)...sunny skies and no wind today. Gonna do the whole 36 mile roundtrip tomorrow. Weather should be a carbon copy of today...maybe a tad warmer. Man, 8-9 miles seems like a recreational ride now.
