Going on my first actual "fun" commute to work. I usually drive (please don't stone me). But probably 3 times a week, I'll ride because of another family member needing a car.

My route, I plan on taking in the morning:

A 13 mile difference, that should be a nice ride Kinda bumming that my fixie doesn't have rack mounts though for some panniers.
