rode from work to a friend's house to help work on a boat. 14miles, 91 degrees, loaded panniers. I've never riden there before, so the route I chose probably wasn't the best. The worst part was 300 yards of road where a road turns into an expressway, and there's a freeway onramp there. Why do people drive like such idiots around onramps? after that hairy spot, I jumped on the bike trail for most of the rest of the way. Was a great ride for a wednesday afternoon, I should do this more often.
