Back in the saddle after a rest day on Monday. Put in a lot of miles over the weekend and latter part of last week, so my legs needed a break. I hated to miss a commute because the weather was ideal but sometimes you have to listen to your body. The weather is still nice today and it's supposed to continue through the week so my commuting won't suffer much.
My morning commute is very dark lately but that will change soon when Daylight Savings starts in early November. Then it will be lighter in the mornings and darker in the afternoons. I personally would prefer the dark during my morning commute rather than afternoon because traffic is much heavier on my way home.
