It was a rotten week weather-wise, with rain, fog, drizzle or showers every day. I drove Mon - Thurs for various reasons but was back in the saddle for Friday. The ride in almost didn't happen, the chain got stuck in the front derailleur and took considerable effort to get freed, bending and misaligning things a bit. Once I got going everything was ok, light wind, light rain and temp of +5 C (40 F) for the 12 km ride.
For the ride home, the weather was supposed to dry up, so I decided to try the whole 47 km (29 mile) commute. It took an hour and 50 minutes and rode through light rain for the last half hour, but it was a great ride! The best part was crossing the highway overpasses and seeing endless lines of cars, all moving much slower than I was, on a day when most of the drivers wouldn't even get outside for a walk. I was totally comfortable and dry. It was great!
