Woke up yesterday morning to the threat of *cold* rain, so I took the bike on the car and split up my commute between yesterday afternoon and this morning. We ended up getting very little to no rain yesterday so I'm wishing I would have done the whole commute yesterday and left the car at home.

Riding home yesterday was okay, had a little headwind, about 39 degrees. This morning (clear) was colder than yesterday morning (cloudy), which is why I wish I would have ridden in yesterday morning. Felt really sluggish this morning. I am SO SICK of having to get all layered up for a 15 mile ride. I really think I will feel and be faster when I can just throw on my shorts and short-sleeve jersey and go.

One thing I did on this commute round trip was use just some lycra boxer briefs under my tights, instead of my usual LG cycling shorts. I actually felt less pain when I got to my destination each time, I think because there's less friction. I don't know, I never used to have problems riding up to 40 miles in cycling shorts, but in the past few weeks just going 15 miles has made for some red irritated areas. Not sure if it's because of the colder weather or what.
