Good ride in today, TV said about the same temp. but it felt much warmer this morning. Little damp on the roads from mist/drizzle, but no rain.
Had a *very* close buzz from one moron (I'd taken the lane, too) who still wanted a part of my lane, only to stop at a red light anyway (sadly I didn't make the light prior so didn't catch him). Then had a guy pull alongside me at the lights when I was in the centre of the left-most straight-on traffic lane (one way street, had a left turn lane too) which was odd, but I didn't care, there was lots of room and he flew off anyway.

32 mins, and caught a whole bunch of greens on the way down Sherbourne, felt great to not have to stop and keep the 22+mph I had for a bit. Though I did get an odd look from a female cyclist when she met me at the red I caught - I rang my bell as a 'I'm coming past' notice (I usually do this as a courtesy) - not sure if that caused the odd look or not.. I didn't say anything to her, though.
