Well that's an unusual sort of race, huh? Very cool.
Happy Anniversary, vjtim!
I stayed up too late last night and woke up later than I wanted this morning. My other handful of commutes (I'm new), I've left before 6 am. Today it was so late, I was just going to drive--I thought I would end up too hot, riding in at 8:30. I changed my mind at the last minute and rode. So glad I did! Quiet nice ride, not too hot at all. The hardest part of the whole commute was that coming in so late, I had to put my bike up one of the higher racks in the bike closet (it's a wall-mounted rack at eye level, and when there are bikes on either side, it's hard, with my non-lightweight cruiser!).
I am very glad my work has showers, too.
(edited to add: I wasn't worried that it would actually be too hot to ride--obviously, it'll be hotter when I ride home! I was thinking it would be so hot I'd be hot and sweaty for an hour, even after a shower... and not be able to to sit at my desk and deal with co-workers until I'd cooled down.)
