First bike commute this week as I had a cold for several days and it rained buckets yesterday. Felt great riding again this morning, although the heavy rains had washed piles of leaves and sticks all over the roads. Had to ride carefully to avoid sucking a stick up into my derailleur. Stiff headwind the whole way to work, which was OK because that means it was also warm with wind out of the SW. I piled up a lot of miles (600+) in November, so I'm about due for an off week.
