Congrats, and great time - welcome!
Was coldish this morning, radio said 6C, and 8C is my normal borderline pants/shorts decision maker. I knew it was warming up so I went with shorts anyway.
Nice ride in, quite a few commuters - obviously I see more when I ride into work at a decent time, rather than waiting for the last minute to go in.
I finish early today, so I'm riding to meet a buddy, then going home to change bikes, then get the MTB and ride up to pick up my daughter in the trailer (not convinced the roadie would like having a trailer on at all

) Also going to take the step to switch out my tyres to the road treads on the MTB, I've had enough of the knobbies now.
Riding this roadie is addictive, I'm set for riding out of town on it next weekend - that should be a fun trip (~65miles one way).
