Left home about 6:05 a.m., to ride my old mountain bike today to the bus station, about 2.5 miles, then took the bus to work. My Switchback actually rides much better than my Townie.

After work, I decided I didn't want to wait for the bus, so I rode into town. Made it into town before the bus. Stopped off at Dittos to make some copies, then continued the ride home. Commute home was 10 miles, so I put in about 12.5 miles today, and I feel great! Even though I'm really sick with a terrible cough, chest pain, sore throat, stuffed up, the ride still felt good.

Temperature for the ride home was 71 degrees! This morning there was ice on the windshields again, so it must have warmed up at least 39 degrees today.

Almost got run over when walking across the crosswalk to Dittos ... I had the light to walk, but a pickup truck decided not to stop and wait at the red light. Fortunately they saw me just in the nick of time and slammed on their brakes!
