It was great. I took the long way in, making a 4 mile commute into a 21 mile commute. The weather was just about perfect, cool enough for arm and knee warmers, but not needing tights or a long sleeved jersey. I had a minivan buzz me uncomfortably closely, but no other issues with drivers. I gave a thumbs-up to the W. Sac. P.D. who had just pulled over a red light runner.
I watched my odometer click over to 1000 miles. I've had it since November. And since this is my commuter, and I rarely ride this bike farther than 25 miles at a time, it says that I'm on this bike for a lot of short trips I guess.
When I walked into the building a co-worker asked how far I rode. When I said "21" he said "Miles!?! That's far even in a car!"
Yeah, I said, but not as much fun.
