Cool and cloudy this morning, with a few showers starting halfway to work. Honestly, if it had been raining at home, I might have driven instead.

Back when the office was downtown, I had occasional opportunities for Silly Commuter Racing, as it was known around here, basically racing or chasing other cyclists on the route. Now that we're out in the 'burbs, such opportunities are rare. This morning, a guy in lycra on a carbon road bike whizzed past me while I was tootling along, so I gave chase, spinning madly on my fixed gear while he powered along at a lower cadence. He was definitely faster than me, and I kept falling further behind until he got through a stop light on green and I got caught at the red. When I got going again, he was barely visible. Eh, it was fun while it lasted.
