Coldest commute of the fall with temps in upper 20s and low 30s. Felt good but my hands got cold. Might be time for some new gloves that will handle temps better in the 20s since my commute distance is longer now. I've got some PI Amfibs that are good down the teens (at least) but are too warm for temps warmer than mid-30s.

My main headlight battery ran out of juice on the ride home for the first time. Fortunately I have another light on my helmet, so I made it home fine. I knew that I was pressing my luck and thought about charging it Weds night, but was also curious about how many days it would last with my new longer commute. I didn't factor in all of the time spent at traffic lights as well as having to run my lights longer yesterday due to clouds and rain. Anyway, I have no complaints about the light (L&M Stella 300) because I got about 6 hours commuting out of a single charge.
