Just did my first commute of the year this morning, finally.

Since my move last fall it's 40km one way, so I won't be doing it every day, but it feels great to be back at it! I'll probably supplement the full ride with a partial commute periodically.

Ride is through both urban streets and out on the highway, exposed to the wind, but it was a nice ride this morning at +1degC.

So determined to get my quota of miles in commuting, will commute today and risk rain on way back tomorrow.
Not a big rain rider, why do so, when rainy days are so few in So. Cal. My question, not so much the inconvenience of gear and getting wet- I have great gear, I think.
The two reasons are don't like to do that to my bike, gunk in drivetrain; and safety, less traction and skinny tires and all that. But guess, I will do it anyway after I check with Yahoo weather and see how intense it might be on way back tomorrow morning.
