Today’s ride home was fantastic.  4.5 miles in 23:45.  Going through the new Athens Roundabout was quite fun, and the pedestrian/bike lane allowed me to totally blow by other cars.  I had a close call with a red Dodge minivan who decided to pass at a bad time, and he almost had a head-on collison with an oncoming car. They had just tarred some of N. Blackburn Road near Dairy Barn Lane, so some spots on the big hill were a bit sticky.  Overall a great after-work commute.
