Today I decided I wanted to go fast. I put a larger seatbag and lights on my Merckx AX and left my commuter bike in the garage. It was a great morning for fast ride, with temps in the mid-60s and no threat of rain. I actually saw another bike commuter for the first time as I was leaving me neighborhood, but he turned off another way before I could catch him. I was hoping to talk to him as I'm one of the few lonely souls bike commuting in my part of the city. Kept a fast pace all the way to work, despite catching the usual red lights, and finished my 10-mile morning leg about 3 mph and 6 minutes faster than usual. That was fun, and I think I'll stretch out my afternoon commute to 20 miles or so.
