I pulled a real bone-headed maneuver and I'm lucky that I didn't get hurt this morning because of it. I had some Open Pro wheels tuned and trued and decided to put them on my main commuter bike for a change, since they are lighter and faster than the Velocity Dyads I have on that bike. It never occurred to me that the rims were narrower on the Open Pros and my brakes might not be adjusted right for them. My house sits on a hill, so I headed down the driveway this morning and quickly realized that I had no brakes. Even with the levers fully bottomed out, the brakes did nothing. Fortunately there were no cars coming up my street, or I would have been flattened. I barely made the turn out onto the street without hitting the curb on the other side. Needless to say, I headed back to the house and put the Dyads back on my bike.

Other than that bit of excitement, it was a nice commute with daylight for a change with the end of DST. Very chilly as well, low 30s, my coldest commute since last spring. That made dressing a bit of a challenge since it is supposed to warm up to the 60s by afternoon.
