Today was the eighth time I've ridden in to work.

It was warmer (57) with just enough of a sprinkle now and then to notice.

The one annoying thing was some jack@$$ in a dodgy Durango who laid on his horn. I'm on Michigan avenue at 5:30 am - four freaking lanes and he wants to be in MY lane RIGHT NOW.

I gave him a dirty look but was tempted to yell enough obscenities to turn his hair blue. The rest of the ride I aggressively defended my territory - if I noticed a car in my lane far back I'd make sure I took up the WHOLE lane so there wasn't any misunderstanding.

Other than that, very enjoyable. Averaged 20.3 mph, just off my record of 20.5 (Straight flat course with net 250 foot drop)
