Wonderful ride this morning: temps in the low 70's, low humidity, and clear. My work hours have been adjusted so I'm leaving about half an hour earlier as of today (I was on the trail at 5:45). I only saw 2-3 other riders and a handful of joggers. I'm interested to see how many people are out there at 3:00 when I leave. I went back to the backpack system and left the panniers at home. Now the bike feels lighter and more nimble-not as clumsy too. I made great time averaging about 19 mph and my ride only took about 25 minutes. I pressed the headset cups into my new Cross Check last night and will hopefully be on that bike by July-can't wait.
