I also make use of those days to swap out the office wardrobe.

I suspect it would be easier if I had one of those jobs where people get off work when it's nice in the afternoon. Unfortuntely, the ride these days is in darkness both ways. That has a niceness all of its own, but it also seems to drain me more than riding in daylight.
