Consecutive bicycle commute #116 :

About a 30 mph headwind this morning. Wind is supposed to dramatically pick up today, so if the wind shifts as I expect it to the ride home should be more exciting. At least I took my road bike which is much more wind-friendly than my hybrid.

It was 56 degrees this morning. I wore my jacket thinking it might be a bit chilly out with the wind (hey, they call it a "windbreaker" right?) Big mistake as it was way too warm. 56 degrees can be a little nippy if the humidity is high, but this morning the humidity was quite low. Should have paid more attention to the weather.

I tried partially unzipping the jacket, but the wind kept blowing the zipper the rest of the way down which left the jacket loosely flapping all over the place. I could have stopped and taken it off but my bag was pretty full and I wasn't motivated enough to jam it in, so I just left it zipped all the way up and got drenched in sweat.
