Commuting Summary, Thursday 6/14

Left at 6:05 a.m., got to work right after 7. The cycling computer says just under an hour -- I think it doesn't count if you're not moving, which is nice. I managed to blow through quite a few red lights and stop signs, so I was pretty stoked. Since Nick wasn't around for the ride, I averaged about 16.5 mph and started out on a nice cruise at about 19-20 mph.

About halfway through, I could feel myself running out of gas (I actually had a bowl of cereal this morning, though) but kept on pushing since I wanted to break an hour.

My ultimate goal from the apartment is 45 minutes.

I ordered some panniers and other stuff but it hasn't shown up yet. I had to carry the backpack again which is rather annoying. I don't think it slows me down per se, but I don't feel that comfortable.
