Tough ride in this morning. Mondays are usually hard for me because I do a long ride with my friends on Sundays and my legs are tired. I had that to deal with this morning as well as very cold temps (20s) and a bunch of extra weight on my bike. We are having our Christmas feast at work today and I carried 13 homemade pecan tarts in my Carradice Pendle bag along with my usual clothes and gear. On top of that, I had to strap a package to the front rack on my Casseroll. The afternoon commute should be much easier as I will lose most of that weight and the afternoon high is supposed to reach the mid-50s.
