55°, and a light headwind today... almost don't need a headlight in the mornings anymore. That'll be a nice chunk of weight to drop - at least till DST kicks in again.

The excuse monkey almost tricked me out of riding in, this morning, but I prevailed.

Heard some funky rattling sound, develop about a mile into the ride that I couldn't place... I was wondering if it was my new front hub, tried holding several things still as I rode to locate it, but nothing. Finally, it was annoying/concerning enough to stop and look for it, and it turned out to be my clear glasses, hanging from my neckband and bumping against the zipper pull of my jersey. I Win!

The bike shorts experiment is effectively over. I've pretty much abandoned chamois bike shorts for practical riding with a duration of less than an hour on bike. There's no notable benefit to wearing them, and it's a pain to maintain the pairs I'd need to keep a fresh pair ready for everyday.

Only ate one bug. Overall, a nice, nice ride, and looking forward to going home.
