My rides to and from work yesterday were uneventful overall. I tried to cut about 5 minutes off my 1h15m ride (20 miles) in to work and actually cut 7. This takes a lot more effort and some luck with red lights.

My ride home was unusual only in that I was really tired (from the morning sprint but also from the activities over the weekend). I went a little slower than normal as a result. It was a nice ride because there's one stretch of road I take that, if you avoid the red lights, gives you about 7 miles of straight "cooking" at 20+MPH. You really get into a groove with this and I found my mind really wandering ... not unsafely or anything, but just wandering. This happens a lot during bike-commutes; the difference here was the extent of this segment.
