Back in the saddle this morning after driving yesterday. It was a hard decision on whether to ride or not yesterday, but ultimately I made the right call. Forecasters were calling for late afternoon storms from a passing coldfront, and it arrived right on schedule. Although it was sunny most of the day, I would have gotten soaked on the way home if I had ridden.

The weather for the rest of the week is supposed to be clear but very cold, so hopefully I can close out my commuting week on a strong note. We are likely to have our coldest weather of the winter so far and it's supposed to extend into or through next week. I can handle the cold but don't like to ride in precipitation of any form.
