52 degrees this morning with a light wind. I headed out an hour early and put in 20 extra miles on my way to work. Made sure to head into the wind first so the 2nd half of the ride was a lot easier.

I must not have been the only one with this idea. Saw a lot more commuters than usual this morning. Everyone's probably trying to fit in extra miles before winter hits, which sounds like it could be as early as next week.

Hope the ice and snow hold off for a little while longer. I need to completely refurbish my winter bike as 7 years of salt and chemicals have completely destroyed the drivetrain, crank, brakes and cables. I ordered the parts last week and they should arrive soon, but I'll need to find a slot in my schedule to install everything.
