Routine commute, temps in the high 30s, mild tailwind that will be a moderate headwind this afternoon, but temps will be in the solid 70s by then. My only mistake is I forgot to pack some shorts for the ride home.

Oh, and it was the first ride with my new handlebar stem. I didn't like the stem that came with the bike because it put the handlebars too far forward and not high enough. When I moved them up a bit (and less than minimum insertion on the stem) the front end creaked like crazy. With the new stem, things feel much more secure and make much less noise.
