Low 50's and balmy this morning. Only slight rain light night so the trail was in pretty good shape. I left the rain jacket at home but put my skull cap on for some added warmth (bald). I left a little later than usual but was able to make up most of the time on my ride, arriving about 10 minutes later than normal. No suicidal rats or mice this morning, however, I was careful to avoid the ever increasing number of wet leaves scattered on the path. As I'm getting used to my new commuter I'm having more fun as it's quite a bit more agile than my other bike. It really handles well and the shorter cranks (170 as opposed to 175 mm on all my other bikes) along with the 12-speed gearing and bio-pace (?) cranks, make for a really good spin into work. I might find that I like this $142 Centurion over my more expensive Surly, at least for commuting.
