WTF. Will it ever warm up in Rochester!??! Woke up to 39 degrees. Wait, let me rephrase, woke up 30 minutes late to 39 degrees. I was expecting 50, not 39. Anyway, because I can't figure out an alarm clock I was running around trying to get everything together and get out the door but that just slowed me down even more. Ever notice that when you're rushing you don't actually get anywhere any faster? How's that saying go, "fast is slow, smooth is quick"? Something like that, either way I wasn't smooth this morning. Anyway, I thought I had everything ready to go but since I wasn't expecting the low temps half my gear wasn't ready.

When I finally got out the door the ride wasn't too bad. I was expecting more traffic because of the time but it wasn't that bad. Must be a lot of other people with alarm troubles today too. I passed one other commuter on the MUP, and then passed him again. WTF? Obviously he knows of a short cut that I don't. Must find it. Did my 22.3 miles in 1:27 (rolling time) which is pretty good for me.
