Low 60's in southwest Virginia this morning. Like vtjim the arms and hands were a bit chilled. But I didn't mind. I love riding in the cool weather of Fall. The bad news is that drivers around here seem to be less patient and more aggressive. In the past I've had drivers going my direction yell at me to get on the sidewalk. But today one going in the opposite direction slowed down -- tying up traffic in the process -- and yelled at me to get off the road. This was on a section of road where there is no sidewalk and no paved shoulder. So I reckon he was telling me to stop biking. On a happy note, every day for the past week someone at work has casually struck up a conversation about my bike and then asked some form of the question, "So, how often do you commute and how do you manage it?" I've never seen so much interest in biking before.
