There was no rain in any of yesterday's forecasts when I got ready to leave, so I took the light backpack sans rain gear and rode my fenderless '84 Nishiki International. It was cool but humid, at least humid for Colorado Springs...about 15%. Rode one of the surface street routes through downtown, which has had very little traffic before 8am for almost a decade now...and that's okay by me.

By 5 pm it had cooled down from 92 to about 85 but slightly humid again (for Colo Spgs) and cloudy with rain visible over the mountains to the west. I took a different downtown routes home and was pretty comfortable. After my shower a brief, light rain flared up. I think I would have been okay riding in it.

Today and tomorrow I have to drive so I'll be itchin' for Thursday's commute, which may be wet on the ride home, but I'll be prepared for it. Even if it's raining Thursday morning I'll probably feel like biking to work.
