Back in the saddle after driving yesterday due to rain. It was a light but cold rain and I had some errands to run, plus my legs were tired from riding 230+ miles last week, so it seemed like a good excuse to drive. The day off did wonders for my legs and I felt great this morning. Forecasters were calling for heavy fog but I didn't see a whiff in my hour-long ride to work. Over the weekend I finally rigged up a mount for my Dinotte taillight on my backup commuter bike, and I felt much safer having that blazing red light behind me.

Rode my annual birthday ride on Sunday, which gets harder every year as the years and miles creep upward. I'll be 58 next week and got in 60.5 miles, which can be difficult in January but not a problem this year with the mild winter we are having so far.
