Today's 27 mile RT commute capped off five days in a row of near perfect conditions for January, off to a good start for the year. I left work today early enough to catch the sun setting over the hilltops, and even spotted a very large coyote crossing a major road in our suburbs, only a mile or so from the vast undeveloped mountain areas to the east. Need to do some maintenance work this week. Time for a new chain and maybe cassette, and clean up rest of the drivetrain.
