Another decent ride in, took 45 minutes same as on Friday - at least I'm consistant. I managed to get out of bed early this morning and hit the road before the major morning rush started. I got passed by two or three other commuters wearing spandex shorts and having calfs the size of my thighs, lol.
I was sporting jeans tucked into my socks with dress shoes (always stylish ... but it was a little damp and chilly and I didn't want to freeze). It didn't bother me, really, I was in no rush. If I took two hours to get to work I'd still not be late. I'm sure I could do it faster if I wasn't trying to get back into riding shape after a year off and a late-season start due to technical issues with my old road bike.

Temperature about 17C (62F) clear skies and sunny. I just hope it doesn't rain on the way home. Fenders and a rack are on the purchase list for this month.
