High 40's / low 50's in DC this AM. Roads a little wet from the night before, but not much of an issue. More of a concern with all the leaves on the MUP. Some cager yelled something out of their window as they went past, but must of lost their memory when I caught them @ the next light.

I was on my hybrid (Trek 7300) - the new bike doesn't get here 'till the end of the week. Still, I averaged 16.7 MPH for the 21.5 mile trip, which was a new PR for me. Going home is (usually) faster, so maybe I'll get lucky and break 17 for the first time! (My first commute into work in July was 13.4 MPH).
