First commute of 2016 and we had nice weather for a change. Hopefully that's a sign of things to come. It was also my coldest commute in a while, with temps in the low 30s F, but rather mild for January. We are supposed to have our coldest weather of the winter so far this week, with temps dipping to the low 20s over the next few mornings. Unfortunately, I won't be able to ride to work tomorrow because I have an out-of-town meeting for work and won't get back until midnight or so.

I've decided not to set any commuting goals, other than riding as much as time and weather permits. I set a goal of 5,000 miles commuting in 2015 and fell about 200 miles short due to all of the rain we had. We finished the year more than 12" above normal and had the highest number of rainy days on record. If the weather is more favorable, I could easily top 5,000 K, but rainy weather really cuts into my riding time.
