Tough headwinds this morning - very unusual for me as prevailing winds usually give me a kick in the tail for the morning ride in. Otherwise nice ride; traffic is returning to normal here in the DC area. I-66 was already backing up when I went under it at 5:45 this AM.

Went out with the wife yesterday and got to ride the ROAD BIKE! I hadn't been on it since early November. What a change to switch from the "boots" I am commuting in to proper road bike shoes, ride in a more efficient position and shed about 10 lbs of gear, fenders, rack, lights, etc.

It put this commuting "workhorse" thing back into perspective when I got back on the commuter bike this morning.
