We're supposed to have no rain tomorrow so I'm planning on riding into work tomorrow. I checked the morning temperatures and it's supposed to be 40 degrees at 7 AM in my neck of the woods. Add in the wind chill and it should be quite refreshing! :D

Anyone else in for tomorrow?

That a girl! I wish I could ride into work, but not possible and not due to injury but more nasty traffic in and out of work. Makes me uncomfortable. But you have a great (and safe) ride. :)

I will be. Currently debating whether to try going up Mt. Hollywood in Griffith Park. I know there'll probably be a lot of debris, but if I go slow...

It's expected to be 36 degrees at my house when I leave for work. Hmmmmm.

Not riding to work, but definitely going to ride before work. It'll be 40° at 4am. Recharging the TriNewt's batteries now....

I will be riding to work tomorrow as well. It may be cold but this client is less than 3 miles away so I can deal with it. Hopefully it will get a bit warmer in the afternoon so that I can go for a longer ride.

I am jonesing to ride and clear my head after a crappy day. Might just ride for 50-60 and blow off work. Yeah, now that I think about it, that is what I will do.

I think I am. Going to have a bit of a logistics issue since I'm supposed to be at a restaurant by 8:30pm though; so leave early, ride home, shower, etc. San Diego's restaurant week, yeah!!! (Set course dinner for a fix amount). :D

Taking the day off tomorrow; it's my birthday. Will ride, though, to take advantage of the break in the wet stuff.

I will, but then again I ride to work every day, rain or shine.

if it's dry out, I'll do 35 extra miles into work (normally 4 miles)

After all this rain I'll be riding to work for sure tomorrow. Less than a 10-mile round trip, but a fair amount of climbing each way--training I desperately need for Solvang and Wildflower.

I'm riding before work, should be around 20 miles or so.

I'm dropping off my car for service and riding from there.

+1 It typically doesn't matter how far, either. 35miles each way has been done far too many times to be worth a blink now.

I'm here! The thermometer said it was cold but due to the humidity it didn't feel that cold...

Plastic bags over your socks really do keep your feet warm. :D

For some reason though i felt crappier than usual. :( Speed was okay but i was just feeling tired sooner.

Yup, arrived at work on the bike to see three other bikes parked at the rack. Everyone else must have had cabin fever and took the chance to ride into work today.

Ah. What a relief. Back on the bike after a week of rain.
A bit cold, but better than driving.

Same here. Got some nice sideways looks in yesterday's rain.

It was nice over here in SD. Long sleeve jersey + regular shorts and full fingered gloves. No need for jackets and knee/leg warmers.

When changing to my office clothes I realized I forgot one critical thing... hopefully Pearl Izumi padding is good on cushioned chairs as well. :p

I just made it into work as well. I had to stay later to take my daughter to school, so I didn't leave the house until 8. The ride into work is much nicer at 8 AM than 7AM! There was hardly any traffic to deal with because everyone is at work already!

I'm so glad that I was able to ride today... I'm not sure about the rest of the week. :(
