Well, after taking most of the week off last week I started this week off right by commuting. The ride in was great. Temp was in the 70s. No wind. I did have a tire problem, though. I went to the closest gas station to top off the air in my tires. Well their pump is broken so it let out about 20psi from my front tire. The next closest gas station was about a mile the opposite direction so I hauled ass over there to top off and guess what? Their pump was out of order! So I just started my commute, being extra cautious of road hazards and bumps. Filled up about 2 miles later at another gas station.

Coming home my time has gotten better. My computer said the temp was 110. Google says the high today is 98. It sure felt like 110 to me.=) I altered my route a bit. I didn't shave off any miles, nor would I want to. I just eliminated a couple of undesirable roads. It only took me about 40 minutes as opposed to the 45-50 it has taken me previously.

Side note: My computer sucks. I have adjusted and tweaked it a dozen times, but no matter what I do it won't register once I reach speeds over about 18 miles an hour...the screen just goes blank. And then I look at it today when I got home and it says max speed is 40.7mph? I dunno, that seems pretty fast. I do have one good hill that I fly down in the morning, but 40.7mph?
Also my trunk bag slid off of my rack and onto my back tire, burning a nice little hole in it. I've only had it two weeks. I already don't like it though, at least not for the way in which I use it.
