I've actually been doing that. Part of my problem is my commute most days involves a class/lab before work, but work is the only place with a shower, and I tend to work up a sweat riding in. So I've also been resisting because Kentucky's climate change experience has us without real fall weather so far (at least consistently).
I'm hoping the next couple weeks, with improved shoulder comfort/motion and lowered temps will let me get back into things a little better. I'm shooting for a ride into work Sunday morning to try things out.
