First commute with inlines on my roadie drops, just means I can stay on the tops when needing/possibly needing to brake - which is nice I must admit. Regular commute otherwise, feeling tired myself, body feels fairly fine but I do need to stop the late nights so often. Got passed just before my MUP turn-off by an older guy on a roadie, was nice to see him steam on through, I said a 'morning' but he had what looked like ear buds and a hearing aid in his right ear (he passed on my left) and didn't respond.

I'm not so happy with the way I get across Lakeshore now, so I might go back to my original "go through the Ex. grounds" route, which cuts the corner out and means I don't have to do a pedestrian crossing to come off the MUP (which is where my problem/hassle is). I also stopped riding across Dundas St. W to Sorauren, because I was getting genuinely tired of the stress/hassle of the streetcar tracks and single lane construction/traffic - plus now (or at least last check) Lansdowne was torn up across all 4 lanes now, so it means a sidewalk diversion to take that way home.
