Welcome to cycle commuting, Tom. Glad to see another Tarheel hitting the streets. I didn't realize Jacksonville had a bike trail. Can anyone ride it, or do you have to be affiliated with the base? When I used to live in Savannah, they used to let cyclists ride around Hunter Army Airfield, but they probably quit allowing that after 9/11.

Another gorgeous day in Raleigh, NC. It was 60F when I left home at 6:30 am and it's supposed to hit the mid-80s this afternoon. Rode into a stiff headwind all the way to work, which is unusual for this time of day. Hopefully it will continue all day so I can get a nice tailwind pushing my home this afternoon.
