Getting back into my kind of riding weather. Temp was 47 when I left home. Did sweat a little, but that was from having to fix a rear tire that went flat overnight (slow leak from a puncture caused by a very sharp nasty little piece of rock), and it all evaporated away as soon as I got rolling along in the cool, dry morning air.

I have some extra time after work today, so I'm hoping to turn my 7 mile commute into a 20 mile commute and hit a couple spots in DC I've been meaning to hit by bike - the Met. Branch Trail up to Brookland (my old haunts) and the new park opened up between Nats Park and Navy Yard.

Of course, given my tire issues (today was not the first flat by far, and I have about 3K miles on these $10/ea. Nashbar tires), I am considering an replacement/upgrade (32 mm Vittoria Randonneurs?) Maybe I should use my extra time to go pick up some new tires...?
