It was a decent ride in, at 4 C ( 40 F). I was late today, but not by much, and in the dark morning, late is realtive. My dog was daydreaming upstairs when she realized that I was leaving. She dashed downstairs and almost took me out to get her goodbye pet and kiss. I forgot my helmet in the process, and got about 1/2 a mile when I couldn't grab my mirror, and figured out why. I went back and had to go through the petting and kissing stuff all over again.
At least I got a taste of the morning twilight, although I can do without the increased amount of car drivers at that time.
