Today was my first day riding into work with my panniers and 80 psi tires (on a Trek FX hybrid). The ride is 9 miles each way with about a 3/4 mile steep hill to end the ride in.

The past 6 rides or so time I've rode in with my Cannondale roadie and a backpack. Backpack was very uncomfortable because I simply had too many . The 120 PSI's were a bit harsh on some of the backroads. The hybrid rides much softer and I feel more comfortable with my body more upright. It didn't take me much longer either, despite the extra weight from my clothes and laptops. The weather was much cooler this morning; to the point where I had to wear a fleece for the first time in 6 months. The current plan is to ride in Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
