Cool 2C (36F) with a slight breeze. Slow ride today as I am still recovering a bit from yesterday's 82km riding (61km in to work, 21 home). Today was the cold day of the week, the rest of the days are forecast to have lows of 4-8C (39-46C) and highs of 15-19C (59-66F) with sun.
Wore my son's
Pipe-style snowboarding gloves which are rather lightweight for snowboarding gloves but seemed to be sufficient for today's ride: I had another large glove to put on over top had these turned out to be insufficient.
I left about 25min earlier than my last early morning ride in (Friday) and didn't realize how dark it was which wasn't a problem on the lit residential streets but about 3km (2mi) of my ride is on an unlit street and, of course, the highway 8km (5mi) also is unlit so I had to use my less-bright front white blinky to see the side of the road. I will be sure to put my
Cree T6 flashlight back on my bike tonight for tomorrow's ride so I can see the road.
