My first commute since crashing last week. Told myself to go slow and casual, ended up being one of my fastest rides in. Go, Bridgestone!

Weather doesn't hurt. It's cool in the 40s, but bright sun. The air is so crisp. My favorite time of year. Will be mid-60s for the ride home. Can't wait.

Passed many other cyclists, far more than usual. A mix of commuters and early riders. $4 gas and brilliant weather brings them out.
