Another very pleasant ride to work this morning, but it's amazing how much shorter the days are getting. I just started using my front light again a couple of weeks ago, mainly for visibility, and now I can actually see the lightbeam on the street when I start out. It was cloudy this morning, so darker than usual, and it was good to have the headlight.

Back to reality again today on my speed. Yesterday I had a stong tailwind all the way to work and averaged nearly 17 mph. Today I was back to my usual 15 mph avg. The traffic lights also make a big difference on average speed, and today I caught some very long lights.

Some kids at a school bus stop were yelling at me this morning. I couldn't tell if they were cheering me on or making fun of me as I was going pretty fast at the time and the wind noise made hearing difficult. I gave them a thumbs up.
