Phooey! First week I haven't commuted all week since the last week of January!

After Tuesday morning of not feeling up to it, I was determined to get stuff done last night, get everything ready, and get to bed at a decent hour, which I did. Woke up this morning feeling pretty good. I knew I would have a pretty bad headwind coming in, but thought I would slog my way through it anyway. Chance of scattered t-storms this afternoon meant I would just leave my trunk bag at work and ride home. Temps were pretty good, 51 this morning and should be upper 60's this afternoon. Put the fenders on the bike, trunk bag with fold out panniers packed and all ready to go.

Got down the road from the house and man, the wind was rough. 20+ MPH gusting headwind, but I figured the ride home would be great. But then it started raining more than I expected it to this morning, and I didn't want to risk getting my bag contents soaked. Plus I forgot to charge my headlight and it was nearly dead.

So after 1.5 miles I turned around and went home. Took a shower, got dressed, and left earlier than I usually do when driving the car.

Oh well, maybe next week. Looks like some sunny days in the 70's ahead, with morning temps in the 50's. Now that's my kind of commuting weather!
