I left home at 7:52 AM, a bit later than planned but my wife called and set me back. The first section of the ride consists of 100 yards of slight upslope, I had no problems here. Once I cleared the Palm Colony gate, I had a traffic free ride till I came to the "Las Posas Jig" (at least that is what I call it). I waited at the light then crossed and took Las Posas for several hundred yards of bicycle lane riding. I came to the turn for Rosewood, and took a right. Rosewood consists of a slight down hill, then it levels out. There was no traffic until I came to Podorosa. Here I had to wait for a car to pass then I crossed the street. I continued on until the stop sign at the Rosewood/Paseo Camarillo intersection. As no cars were there I blew through it and made my left. 400 yards later I pulled into the parking lot of the office.

Total time: maybe 9 minutes
Mileage: about 1.4 miles
Climbs: I'd say a good 30 feet.
stop signs blown: 2/3
Time lost at red light: around 1.5 minutes
Time late for work: 5 mintues
Max speed: 16 mph (Rosewood decent)
Min Speed: 7 mph (Palm Colony accent)

I've been riding a 22/32/42 and think I may adjust this for next week to get max performance.
