Woah! Cold. Long pants, long sleeve shirt, gloves, and a cap under my helmet. This is the first time I've come to work in long pants since April or maybe May.

I rode a 200k brevet yesterday, and it kinda knocked the stuffing out of me, which is not unusual. Sometimes when I ride a century on Sunday, I'm so slow on Monday that I miss my train. So today I made a point of leaving a little early. Nonetheless, when I got to the station, the train was already there, and I hustled... got to the platform just as the train was pulling out. Looked at my cell phone for the time... ooops. I was seven minutes early, and that was the local train I'd just missed. The express came in and left on time, with me in it.
