It was cold (about 40F) and a little breezy. I used a flashing tail light for the first time since around March. But not a bad ride at all. Tonight I'll have to use my Road Toad headlight.
BTW, I've got some 26x1.75 Continental Top Touring tires on order. I've used 700x32 Top Touring tires for my touring bike, and though they are heavy they are also very puncture resistant. The generic hybrid tires on my commuter have had a couple punctures, but now that the dark/cold season has set in, I'd like more protection from unwanted flats.
