First time actually commuting to the office since March. Also the first time since I bought my house. The new route is 6.4 miles, so I'll be taking one of several different options for a longer way home most days. About the same time to get to work as my old commute (which was 5.0 miles). It's still all gradual uphill (only 365 ft in 6.4 miles).
It was rainy and chilly (48F) this morning. I hit quite a few puddles that were deeper than they looked. I rode the velo though, so I stayed dry. Once this system passes, I'll ride the two wheel bent most days.
