Breezy and cool. I didn't need a jacket or anything. I had a tail wind most of the way to work, so that's nice.

For the first mile, I had the box o' crap strapped to my front rack. It's a 24-pound box of bike stuff that the folks in the Classic & Vintage pass around by mail, just for fun. I also had front panniers on. I rode to the post office to send it to the next person on the queue. I could barely lift my bike up the stairs to the post office. Also, riding through traffic with all that weight on the front was pretty tricky, but I made it OK.
