morning headwind, but nice and steady, not dramatic at all. i set out under yer average cloud cover, and slowly got more and more light as i went south. i parked my bike in full sunlight, but when i turned round the mountains to the north had just disappeared behind all the dark purple-grey clouds. pretty cool for a place where winter is usually so unvarying.

i worked way-way-way late because i had something i just wanted to get finished with, so rode home on the short slope towards midnight. kind of nice and very quiet, although a little surreal and i'm gonna be tired tomorrow. all but one northbound lane of the bridge was closed, and there were people with jackhammers and safety vests doing something civil-works-like in the middle of it.
