Nice and cool heading down to the valley floor, very pleasant from there on. I left the house about 15 minutes later than usual and encountered MANY more othe cyclists - some on training rides, others on their commute. caught up with a guy on a road bike and chatted for the last mile or so before I turned off to the office.

This is my standard commute, which follows the easiest route I've found for the way home. I have other options if I'm in the mood to kill my quads, but I have been trying to move to 5 days a week, so mellow as she goes.
