This morning was beautiful. I wore my wool jersey, but it was almost too warm for 43F. I am in LOVE with my Brooks saddle--finest piece of leather my butt has ever perched on.

Last night was my first night commute. I left work at around 7:45pm, and I had the trail all to myself! Only soul I encountered on that beautiful moonlit ride was a raccoon-friend, whom I startled, and who scrambled noisily back toward the river, poor thing.
