Great commute this morning. Temp was 48F and a slight drizzle, but the rack for my new bike arrived so I'm riding new wheels. It's GF Kaitai 29" with 700x38 slick Armadillos and it is a HUGE difference over my green anvil. I put on a heart monitor to keep an eye on my heart rate and try to keep it under 145 max. Every now and then it went up into the 150's and 160 (on hills) but overall, it was a very smooth ride. Did 45 minutes (roughly the same as with the anvil) however with MUCH LESS EFFORT, which is what I wanted when I got the new bike. Also, the Night Explorer 25w light is a blessing over my 4-AA powered light on my anvil.

All in all, in spite of the rain, I'm very pleased and happy! BTW, this is my 3rd straight week bike commuting.
