My commute is 10 miles round trip. I found a route today that is about .5 miles longer, but it keeps me off the 55mph road that crosses over I-75 (suicide anyone?). But, this morning wasn't terrible. about 70 degrees and cloudy so wasn't too hot on the way there and there was no wind either. However, my commute home will be much more difficult unfortunately. Most of the way home is uphill and it's going to be 95 degrees when I have to do it so I packed 2 water bottles to be safe.

O, and almost ate it today, I was riding along and was startled when a car lightly honked his horn to alert me he was passing and I instinctively shot to the right a little and dropped into the curb pavement which made getting out interesting because there's about a 1/2" difference from there to the road which caught my tire on the way back up and scuffed my tire wall a little bit.

I'll report back with the ride home.
