Beautiful ride in this morning with temps around 40 degrees. My fleece vest and windbreaker were adequate and will probably spend the ride home in my backpack as temps are supposed to be in the low 60's this afternoon (may get to lose the skull cap too). I've been fighting an ear infection/sore throat so I'm hoping the warmth of the afternoon will be a little easier for me as I huff and puff on my afternoon ride. I would have made it to work only to discover that I had one shoe if not for the rider behind me who caught up to tell me that I had dropped one. I usually bungy them to my rack but for some reason they weren't very secure today (good thing he told me, they're a new pair of Timberland dress shoes). I doubled back and found it about 200 yards behind me with only a slight scuff mark where it must have rubbed the tire--thanks again. Anyway, looks like it's going to be a nice week and my goal is to ride every day.
