Pretty nice ride this morning. Temps dropped significantly over the weekend, all the way down to 40* F! That meant shoes instead of my normal Shimano sandals, broke out the tights and jacket (had washed and put them away for the summer...), and more fogging of the morning glasses at stop lights. With the sun coming up earlier, me getting a few minutes later start than normal, and getting more comfortable with my route, I was really able to enjoy the scenery this morning. Most of the last half of my commute is along a road with very large lots, very nice houses, lots of horses and ponds, and beautiful trees. It's not the Pacific Northwest (where I grew up) but it's about as nice as you can get in the DFW area, so I'll take it...
