I had a very nice commute today! (As opposed to Sunday, when the morning was surprisingly COLD and I felt crummy in the afternoon.)

The weather was beautiful! Had a strong headwind again (the wind seems to be from the south this summer, pretty much!)

It had clouded over on the way home, and the not-quite-full moon was glowing behind the clouds. It was darkish, and I got to give my new headlight a good workout.* I had a scare at one point, as I startled a pair of hidden cats by the roadside, and had one suddenly scoot out in front of me and the other run through the grass.

All in all, the most enjoyable ride I've had for a week...I seemed to be a bit 'off' the past week.


*I replaced my broken krypton CatEye with the LED CatEye. It seems pretty good, it doesn't light the road up as bright, but it diffuses the light much better than the krypton version, scatters it over a wider area....and looking at it from the front, it's a blinding star instead of a flashlight. I'm thinking of adding a second one for more brightness.
