Great ride in, not much traffic to worry about, no rain, no wind, but dark. Arrived later than I wanted for a 7:00 am breakfast meet up with a co-worker and missed her. I did wear the heavier leggings today as it was about 42 when I left the house. Should be good for way home w/out rain jacket...oh wait...wrote that too soon!

I did switch out my wool shirt for another day since the dreaded "snow shower" forecast is out there for later this week with highs only into the upper/mid 40s. It'll be of better use then.

CptJohnC - yes, brake pads usually have wear marker lines on them...they can get pretty low before you hit this mark (look down at your brake pads, you should be able to see the little line - clean off the dirt if you can't see brake pad clearly). If pads look good a little scrub to the pad surface with sandpaper can help as can keeping rims clean, especially wiping them down after a rain ride.
