Notes
TO WORK leg ==> Time: 35:58, Distance: 10.526, average speed: 17.56
Temp: 45° AVG HR: ??, MAX: ??
I was looking forward to riding to work today all week. The weather forecast indicated it was going to be in the 70s this afternoon and I wasn't going to miss that. I did have to take Aidan to school this morning, but I prepared myself by getting my bag ready last night and making lunches last night too. I got out a bit late (~8:00am) but didn't really care. I was happy to be riding. Immediately I felt myself trying a bit too hard, so I tried to back off and just ride. I think it worked pretty well. I did try a bit harder going up the hills because I noticed that was not going so well when I rode last week. I was very surprised to see that I made it to work in ~36 minutes. Fastest I have ever ridden to 601! Wow. Cool. Nice ride.
TO HOME leg ==> Time: 34:58, Distance: 10.517, average speed: 18.05

I was really looking forward to the ride home today. The weather forecast said it was going to be in the mid 70's, so I was excited to enjoy the warm weather. Instead it was WAY hotter than expected and it wasn't as much fun as I thought it was going to be. It was also a bit windy, with the wind blowing NNE making the ride into the wind for at least the first half and right across my path for the second half. It was at my back up Winton though, and because of it I sustained about 27-28mph!! That felt good, but pretty much everything else felt very slow and tiring. Not a bad ride though.
