Update on the commute.....Even though it was foggy this AM in NoVA, I had a good ride in. Felt good climbing the hills, and kept a good pace (having a rider along with me helped).

On the way home, though-I felt like I was flying. I was a little warm because of the long-sleeve jersey and tights, but was able to push some bigger gears than normal on the ride home...and set a new PR for average speed.

When I did this the first time to work and back (21.5 miles each way) back in August, I averaged 13.4 MPH and really struggled to get that. Today, on the way home, I averaged 17.1. On a Trek 7300 hybrid. I can't wait to see what I can do on the road bike......
