A little cool for what I was wearing this morning, I should have went with the long sleeve shirt. The afternoon wind is supposed to be 50 gusting to 70km/h, which will make for a slow ride home. I usually take the MUP instead of the road when I have a really strong head wind.

I'd been noticing a creaking noise for quite a while, I thought it was my seat post but it was actually my pre-aged Brooks B17. Tightening the laces nearly elimated the creaking but made the saddle much more firm.

I got my Gatorskin tires yesterday and put them on for this mornings ride. I ordered some Michelin Airstop tubes with the tires. I had never seen bicycle tubes covered in sparkles before.

I'm about 18 commutes from breaking the number of commute rides that I did last year. Last year I had summer classes that I rode to, but this year I didn't. But this year I rode in the winter where last year I didn't.
