Monday morning and I managed another commute. Unseasonably warm for a morning in August in Edmonton at 18C (~65F).

On Friday, I knew the dirt trail would be too muddy, but after a warm and dry weekend, I decided to chance it today. I've come to the conclusion that I need to just give up on that trail. The trail itself was mostly dry, but the grass beside was very dewey. But that narrow rut of a track made me lose my balance multiple times - I fell off twice, but because I was going uphill and slow, I was able to unclip and stay on my feet when my bike went down. And oh my gosh the mosquitos were out in force this morning, and at times I wasn't going fast enough to stay ahead of them. Not a great commute this morning.

Hope you heal up soon, jaxy357 .
