Today was my first cycle-commute since last Thursday, and it seems like fall arrived in the meantime. The sun seemed a lot lower in the sky (even though I got a late start) and it was chilly - only 6C/43F!

Pretty low-energy today, so I took it easy, except after I started playing cat-and-mouse with a bus. Idiot driver zoomed past me and just about had to cut me off to pull over to the next stop, so I "droped the hamer" and managed to stay ahead of it thanks to more waiting passengers at subsequent bus stops. But I ran out of steam pretty quickly - don't know if it's because of the chest cold I'm still getting over, or maybe I haven't fully recovered from the 250+ miles (w/ 15,000 ft of climbing) I rode on the weekend. Maybe a combination of the two.
