Today was my first commute since May. I'll spare you the excuses.

Ride in was OK. I'm about ten minutes slower than previous commutes on my 17 mile inbound ride. Nothing to report on the trip aside from the fact Eastern PA is beautiful.

The return trip began to go downhill quickly when the drizzle arrived hours before it was forecast to start. I left work at 10:35 this evening, and the rain began before 11:00. I first noticed it when riding across the wooden pedestrian bridge over the Schuylkill River. I was cold and very wet by the time I got in, but somehow or other I managed to turn in my best time on a homeward ride. I guess rushing to get home before the rain began to freeze motivated me.
