Did my first commute on my new road bike that I purchased this weekend. WOW!

A ride that took me 30-35 minutes on my cheap $100 x-mart bike was done in 20 minutes flat.

Lately I've been having to report to work at 6am. I wasn't motivated to ride but buying a new bike helped that. And now I actually prefer riding that early in the morning. There is no traffic and no sun = cooler. I wasn't sweating nearly as much as I usually do commuting to work.

I may still wake up and come to work this early even when I don't need to anymore (b/c of work). It was a very peaceful ride this morning
