It was a very nice ride home yesterday, I took a different route with some steeper climbing but lest total feet of climbing (same elevation change, just all at once). It was 3 miles shorter and much nicer over all. It will be my standard route.
Today is my first back-to-back commute day. The ride in was excellent. The temps were in the mid to upper 40's, a good 12-15 degrees warmer than yesterday. I did have to loop around town a little to avoid a train parked at my standard crossing point. It added a 1/2 mile so no big deal.
