Gorgeous ride in this afternoon to go to work. There was very little traffic and I just had to take advantage of the nice weather and take a longer scenic route to work. Pedalled slowly and enjoyed the last bit of remaining summer weather. I still managed to get cut off by a guy that decided at the last moment to turn left and then promptly paused in the middle of my path, as if it would make a difference by then.
Panniers definitely make a big difference in being able to make it less work and more pleasure. Too bad I wear regular pants to ride to work, otherwise I would have taken the really long way to work..
