Just like old times this morning. I got up at 5:30, had a cup of coffee and a banana, and out the door by 10 to 6. Rode south past Freeport on the River Road as the Sierras reddened in the east. At 6:30 I turned around, got into time trial mode, and flew home. Walked into the house at 7:10 and, amazingly, everyone was still asleep. Hopped in the shower, dressed, changed a couple diapers, and woke my wife. Back out the door and back on the bike at 8:02.

The last 4 miles to work weren't any big deal.
