60F. No wind. Low humidity. Sunny with some haze in the sky. Very nice. I stopped on the bike bridge and looked at the Adirondacks (Whiteface was barely visible through the haze), and some geese in the water. A guy on a 'bent came by and we exchanged greetings. I let him get some distance on me, then I continued riding. I reeled him in but I stayed a respectable distance behind him. 17-18MPH.

On Friday, it was up around 90F. I passed a couple of well-geared guys who had just unloaded their MTBs from a car and were preparing to mount up. They watched me as I went by on my Liquid, and I thought, "Oh boy, here we go. It's gonna turn into a race." Sure enough, about a mile later I saw them in my mirror and they were closing, so I dialed it up to 400 watts and fended them off. Fun ride. Fast commute!
