I had some new components on for the ride this morning (rear derailleur, crank set, and shifters) on the bike after replacing them on Friday night. Only had a short ride home from the co-op with them on that night, and didn't get to ride this weekend, so this morning was the first ride of more than a mile or two with them on. Pretty happy, I must say, though the RD needs a little more dialing in yet.

Ride in this AM was cool and dry. Barely broke a sweat. Probably wouldn't have broken a sweat if I didn't wear a helmet. Had a few other commuters say good morning as they passed or we were stopped at traffic lights, which is pretty rare, but was appreciated.

Loving the early fall weather... 70s for highs and 50s in the AM is pretty friggin' nice.
