Chillier this morning at 41F, but I still went with shorts since it's going to be 70+ this afternoon.

One alternative neighborhood street I take sometimes has a row of trees lining the road. One day I noticed a branch dangling about cyclists' head height and about 3 feet from the curb. Easily avoided if you see it, but until there are leaves on it, it kinda blends in with all the other trees.

The next two times I took that street, I didn't see it, but instead heard and felt a loud WACK on my helmet as I hit it. It is just the end of branch with no major thickness, but definitely caught me off guard.

Last night I noticed my cycling shoes are pulling apart between the soles and the uppers. I may try some gorilla glue or contact cement or something. If that won't hold I'll be doing some shopping. The shoes are probably close to 15 years old.
