Still adjusting to my new workplace. Yesterday they power-washed the spot where the bike rack is located for some reason. Fortunately they covered all of the bike saddles and handlebars with plastic bags, but my frame was all covered with spots and crud. Then when I left work, a bunch of fire trucks were blocking the one-way street in front of our building -- the only way to exit by bike -- so I had to ride on the sidewalk to leave work.

My ride home was uneventful except for the daylight saving change. It got dark much sooner than I anticipated and the temperature fell really fast. By the time I got home, it was totally dark and about 10 degrees cooler than when I left the office. On the plus side, my ride into work in the morning was only dark for a few minutes and I was able to dim my headlight to lowest setting.
