Nice commute this morning except for the headwind most of the way. It was the warmest morning in quite some time, low about 50F, so I dressed much lighter. Still overdressed and was pretty sweaty by the time I got to work. I rode one of my better road bikes (Merckx Corsa) since I won't have a bunch of layers to peel off in the afternoon. It was fun, and my average speed was about 1 mph faster than usual, even with the wind. I didn't have room to carry a lunch so will have to go out to eat later or drink a shake in my office.

Trying to decide whether to ride tomorrow as a front is expected to move through, with showers and possible thunderstorms. If it's raining in the morning, I'll definitely drive, but I might try my luck otherwise. We have been in a very bad, persistent drought, and most of the time when they predict rain lately it either never materializes or we get just a few little sprinkles.
