 Slowest Commute Ever (I hope)
Finished this 5/5 week with commute #84

I am planning on riding a century + tomorrow, so I skipped riding during lunch today and took my MDAS route home.

I intentionally went around every hill that I could, started coasting whenever my speed got above 8 mph, and climbed the unavoidable hills in my lowest gear (30-34). Probably my slowest commute home ever, at least I hope so. It was kind of fun to just ignore my speed/time and look around a bit. I should lighten up more--I have fun when I do. However, I think that it would get old pretty fast--nice for a change of pace though.

Sorry for the rambling
