This morning my normal commuter bike (Giant Cypress) was out of commission with a wheel at the LBS. That gave me an excuse to ride my Specialized Roubaix to the office. Man, what a difference ... My 18 mile commute normally takes about 1:25 minutes and I did it in 1:15 this morning! I did resolve to not turn the Roubaix into a daily beater, so it will go back to weekend long-haul duty once my wheel is back.

Once I got the office, for some reason they have the heat cranked way up throughout the 5 story building, so after the shower my office is a bit like an oven. Very weird on a monring they probably don't need to expend any energy on HVAC.
