Cooler and wetter today. 46F. It was a steady, but light rain at the time I like to leave. I waited about 8 minutes and it let up. The roads were plenty wet, but I didn't really get rained on. I went with tights instead of shorts because I knew the spray would soak my shins and get them pretty cold. Only fail was not wearing my wool socks. My feet were a bit water logged and a little cold by the time I got to work.
Weather forecast says high of 74, but rain all day. I'll be surprised if it gets that warm.
Hey mgw4jc,
Are you gonna top the magic number of 5,000 commuting miles by the end of the year? You're getting awfully close but the weather has been awful here. At the beginning of December, I figured that I had a good chance of topping 5K if the weather dried out. Hah! It has turned out to be one of wettest Decembers on record here and has rained nearly every day of the month. I have somehow managed to top 700 total miles for the month but that's because I've done a lot of long rides on the weekends. My commuting has been a disaster this month, and it's rained nearly every work day.
