Whoa. Nothing like 30+ MPH (50KPH) gusts and a driving rain in my face to add some spice to the commute! Bike computer was hovering around 40F/4C the whole time.

I cleared two trees from the MUP. One trunk (already dead) had fallen and shattered into three pieces so I tossed them aside. Shortly after that, I came upon a more developed (but also already dead) tree that required some muscle to shove out of the way, but I got it. One part of the MUP was indiscernible from a forest floor. It was covered with leaves and sticks. There is debris everywhere. Sticks and small branches. The wind is still howling out of the north.

I also moved a neighbor's plastic chair back toward their house because it was about to blow into the street.

Got home and The Wife met me with (not in, alas) a beach towel. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt so_ No I'm just kidding I was kitted for rain.
