After the last few commutes of 0C, 4C and 5C mornings, today's 8C was balmy. Took the short (5km) route in because I am resting my legs after last night's 27km commute home. My office is 5km from home but, because cycling is my fitness exercise of the summer (plus swimming when I'm by the lake), I normally take a longer circular route of 16km. Next week, we have a 2-day meeting away from our office and the shortest distance is 23km so I'm gearing up for the longer, consecutive commutes next Tuesday/Wednesday.

This afternoon is forecast to again be a nice 14C and sunny ride home.
