Yeah winter is coming, as they say. Today was the first day since the last cold weather that I wore long pants on my commute and also a t-shirt under my dress shirt. It was 47F when I left. I wore my summer gloves which were barely adequate. I had no idea it would be insanely windy. I started out without my jacket figuring I would make enough heat from pedaling, but that didn't work, so I stopped and took my jacket out of my bag. Most of the way the wind was going the other way, so I had to work hard. But I was comfortable, and I was glad to be back on my own bike after not riding it for a few days. I hope the wind direction doesn't change at midday!
