I almost passed on riding yesterday. Monday's ride home against the wind was a little tough and yesterday was also supposed to be windy. But I decided to be tough. However the wind never materialized and it was pleasant, sunny riding both ways...27F in the morning and 48F on the way home.

I had inadvertently left my black poly bike pants at the office Monday, so I threw on a pair of tight-fitting black cotton pajama bottoms...they were almost too warm. I kept thinking that they'd be miserable if they got wet or damp through perspiration or weather. My polyester bike pants are just snug workout pants with some sort of hidden venting up the sides. They are somewhat water repellent and will eventually become soaked, but they dry fairly quickly.

It was a day full of stairs and extended outdoor walking at work, so I took it easy uphill on the way home for a 9.1 mph average speed, identical to windy Monday's, but I arrived home fresh-ish and not exhausted.
