I missed a day due to very strong winds and lots of rain. It wouldn't. have been smart to ride, so. my idea of riding every work day is blown. I can live with that. On a bright note I felt really good last night and made it home in 1 hour and 10 minutes, which is my fastest time and I took a wrong turn in there. I think I could make it an hour and 5 minutes if everything was working well. I do like the commute, but it is a long time in the saddle. Hoping to ride the rest of the month, but the weather in Florida can. sometimes be a little crazy. I don't mind riding home in the heavy rain, but I can't really stay dry on the way in due to sweat and some rain getting in due to the amounts.

All and all, it is a good experience. I came across a gator on the road that scared the crap out of me. Small one, but fast. He didn't like me getting as close as I did, but I didn't see him until I was close due to me paying attention to a car in my rearview.

Feeling pretty good and I seem to sleep less which is odd. I certainly shouldn't be up now since I got home after midnight and didn't wind down till 1AM.

Enjoy your rides.
