For all intents and purposes, a tropical commute, relatively speaking. Upper 40s F, or ~9*C. Bit of a wind, a headwind for me, out of the north or northwest. NWS says it's gusting to around 20 mph. Certainly ridden in much worse, but it was enough to make me work a little harder on the ride in than usual.

Surprisingly few bike commuters out, it seemed. Perhaps people are choosing their mode of commute by the calendar instead of by the actual weather conditions. Kinda like the significant number of people I saw walking about a couple days ago dressed in bulky sweaters, overcoats, hats, scarves, gloves, etc., even though the temperature was close to 60F. Come on people, just 'cause it's November doesn't mean you have to bundle up every day. Some days are actually warm. Shoot, around here we get the occasional freak 60 degree day in January, much less November, so it should come as no surprise to anyone.

Last commute for a while. Taking some extra time off around the holiday next week, so I'm out all next week and a couple days the next. I won't miss work, but I will miss the commute. And I'll be on the other side of hte country, so I won't even have my bike around to enjoy a fun ride or two.
