Yesterday's trip home was a bit of a disappointment - a beautiful sunny day until you were within a few miles of Lake Ontario, near the lake it was overcast and dreary. Bought some cheap Kenda slicks at the home LBS for the commuter bike (new name - was Tonsafun, now it's the Dorkmobile -the crooked front fender and skinny tires just give it that total dork look)
This morning's ride - warm & DAMP! - 12C, 53F, misty, drizzly, foggy. Visibility was ok, got to work with a dry back, wet front. It's becoming the commute of the perpetual headwind. The last 5 trips have been into the wind.
