First commutes of the semester, which turned out pretty good, but kinda slow. Unfortunately I didn't do as much riding "off season" as I should have, so this week is most likely gonna be a little rough getting back into the swing of things.

44F with mostly damp streets and partly cloudy with mainly headwinds from the WSW @ 7-9mph this morning. The roads were wet from all the snow melting last night, so I wore my rain pants which was a good choice. Coming into the campus parking lot, my jacket managed to make it's way into my chain and bent my rear derailleur. I had to go very carefully to my parking spot.

48F and overcast with mainly tailwinds from the WNW @ 8-10mph this afternoon. Roads were still somewhat damp, but not as bad as this morning. I was able to bend my RD somewhat back into place before I left. I tried to take it easy on the way home the best I could. The only time I really had issues were when I was in the middle chain ring and gears 1&2 on the cassette. Stopped by the bike shop to get a new derailleur. A little more expensive than I was hoping, but oh well...hopefully it will be worth it.
