They turned right onto the bike path along Eldridge and I turned onto Eldridge to head home. They had the advantage of starting their ride about an hour and 15 minutes sooner than I would tonight but their traffic was heavier than what I ride in. So I guess there is a trade off. I drive 42 miles from work to home. With most of the schools out for spring break traffic on the drive home has been somewhat lighter so I have been able to get home earlier which has allowed me to get a jump on the evening ride. The weather has been cooperating as well. 74 degrees when I started, no breeze to speak of but cloudy skies with a peek of sun. Should be more of the same tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>I have been having trouble uploading my Garmin Edge 305 data to the Garmin Connect website so I am going to not use that for awhile and rely on the SportTracks training log instead. This will probably save me 15 minutes each time I do this.<\/p>\n<p>March mileage update:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>March miles 170.69<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>YTD miles
