had to work today but loved my commute. I had been doing a good amount of road riding up until 2 weeks ago when I found out I'd be out of town and in NYC for the next 2 months and scrambled like crazy to get 2 rooms in my house painted. I did virtually no riding during that time and the slacking off definitely cut down on my conditioning so it sure felt good to get on the bike today.

The commute is so short and fast and I am so enjoying that West side bike path that I keep way overshooting my cross streets on the way to work and the way home. Tonight I rode way uptown to about 125th St. just for the fun of it and rode back in a light rain but it felt great.
