Morning commute pretty standard...low 70s with thunder but no rain.

Commuting home, I decided to try out a new route I had planned out that would increase my distance from 6 miles to 10. However, I missed a turn and ended up about two miles off track. Thank goodness for my iPhone to tell me where I was before I got completely disoriented.

So I backtracked and made it home without incident, but after 14 miles instead of 10! But I am so glad I am changing routes...a longer ride is not only more fun, but I am now off the highway for all but like 1/4 mile. It's awesome! I didn't realize how much I hated those 3 highway miles until I didn't have to worry about them. I am in love with quiet, country roads.

A kid said "hi" to me from his upstairs balcony...that was totally cool for some reason.
