    Nice drizzly commute in with temperatures in the upper 60s. Trails were pretty busy considering it was 6:30 in the morning. Birds were singing in full force today.

    great Commute home 10.74 mi 00:55 11.7mph pace

    A beautiful commute home. Convinced another coworker to commute in by bike today, so we rode together on the ride home. Awesome! The trails were super crowded today.

    good commute home 10.17 mi 00:44 13.9mph pace

    Left work a little early. As a result, the trail was quite sparse. Temperature felt more like summer than spring, it was in the mid-80s.

    good morning commute 11.03 mi 00:46 14.4mph pace

    Leaving at 6am, one would think I would see a bunch of wildlife on my ride in! I have a cat bird fly right in front of me this morning.

      Nice commute in. You should get a Go Pro or Contour for your commutes.

      Yeah, I've thought about it. Probably will get one, but just can't seem to justify the expense yet. They look like a lot of fun!

      Watch ebay. I know the Hero3 is the standard as far as action cameras are concerned but I'm happy with my Contour. I've read of a couple cyclists that have been hit and police caught the hit-and-run driver because of video.

    The registration area for the century didn't have parking, so I had to park at a local school. Got lost twice trying to find the registration.

      Excellent ride Lena! Sounds like you managed a wonderful ride in despite the rain. Your patience paid off!! I'm sure you have managed to make your fellow rider's day a bit brighter too. I bet he looks forward to seeing you out there now. Very cool.
