Consecutive commute number 325:

56°F this morning, very humid and very windy. Made for a chilly summer commute as my backpack was already loaded down and I didn't want to add the weight of a jacket that I could have used during this morning's 8 mile ride, but won't need when I ride 10 miles across town to a client's office over lunch. So I just sucked it up and rode hard to try and stay warm.

Wind was fierce at 30+ mph. Mostly a cross wind, but there were a few miles where I got to fight it. It'll be the same story at noon, but then I should have a tail wind for most of the 4 mile ride home.

The state soccer tournament was starting this morning in one of the parks along the MUP. Parking lots were already full and there were a lot of people in the park. I was impressed that at spot where the MUP crosses the entrance to the park, they had stationed someone there to direct traffic. I was even more impressed that he was stopping cars to wait for the MUP traffic, rather than the other way around. I thanked him as I rolled by.
