All right! So I was prepared to ride into work yesterday morning. Then I looked at the weather at 5 AM. 19°F. Nope, not gonna do it. So I decided to drive and take the bike, and split up my commute like I used to do.

The ride home yesterday was pretty uneventful. Mid 40's. Slight wind from my front left (northwest), but not nearly as bad as it was Tuesday afternoon.

This morning it was 32F, much better than 19. I still layered up, though, which made me pretty slow. Saw an AMAZING sunrise about 6:30. I wanted to snap a pic but didn't want to stop and remove my gloves, dig for my phone, take it out of the plastic bag, etc. etc. Light wind again from my front left (east-southeast) which picked up a bit as I went on. That gave me a little boost on the portions traveling west, but not so much when going south.

I'm really tiring of having to get all gussied up in all these multiple layers in the mornings. I long for the days when I just throw on my shorts and short-sleeve jersey and go, and it's not dark outside when I leave.

But this marks my first full commuting week (full week meaning 2 round trips) since the 2nd week of November. So that's good.
