This week I returned to work after my vacation, and it has been tough getting back into the routine. I start work early, and usually leave home at about 5:15 in the morning. It is now dark for most of my commute. This morning was quite cool, about 12 Celcius, so I had to cover my arms and legs for the first time in a long while. Quite a change from the very hot weather here during the month of August. Since I ride every day, this will be a pretty good week for milage, I expect to pass the 300 km mark from Monday to Friday. The rides home this week have been tough, with strong headwinds, although this means that the mornings have been easier than usual.
