First commute in over 3 weeks! My wife and I had our first baby February 17th (a cute little girl, if I say so myself ). I took 2 weeks of paternity leave, then worked from home for another week after my wife (and both of our dogs!) had post-partum complications.

Uneventful ride today. I was sucking wind towards the end and thinking, "Man, did I really lose that much conditioning in 3 weeks?" When I arrived at work and called my wife she reminded me...I'm riding to work on only a few hours' of sleep and little food. Oh, yeah. I forgot.
