Of 13 work days since I did my first commute, I have ridden to work on 9 of them. I’m happy about that and thought I’d missed way more days.
It was reasonably wet this morning. I left about 7am in an attempt to avoid traffic, but it seemed the folks who were driving to avoid the rain also left early. But it was OK overall.
I left work at 4pm, and the ride up was actually pretty nice. I had eaten at 3pm, and I found I had a lot of energy going up the hill – it was the easiest ride up so far. I could be wrong, but it felt quieter than usual, and it really was more pleasant. It was also much cooler than I when had previously ridden up the hill. It all added up to a mostly enjoyable ride, with a few hairy moments of too-close cars.
