I waited for a co-worker to show me the best way to get from the parking garage out to the trail, so I did not end up leaving until about 5:20. A 40 minute ride into the headwind was not great, but it was not too bad either. On the way home, I passed cleo, but she was busy on the phone and collecting things from her vehicle, so I did not stop to chat.
All in all, not a bad way to commute.
