I left the house a few minutes late this morning, so I took the somewhat shorter, more direct route that I normally avoid during business hours. I'm thinking I might start using it more, as it's not nearly as sketchy as I had assumed. Of course, that would shave about ten miles a week off of my total, so maybe not.
I caught up with, and eventually dropped, a fairly muscular dude on a road bike. Since I wasn't on my road bike today, this made me happy.
