Took a different route to work yesterday to see if there may be a wider, safer road to get there. While most of the roads had more room, there was also more traffic on them. Then I had a wild hair up my ass to look for a paved bike trail so I ended up taking an extra 45 minutes getting to work trying to find it and finally getting on it. Overall, the ride was okay but my pace was not the greatest.
Also took a different route home to challenge myself to take on more hills despite not feeling 100% before leaving. I got worked and actually took one unplanned stop for a couple minutes just to recoup. Pace was also not the best on this ride back but I made it home safe so it's all good.
