Cool start this morning, probably upper 30's. My long pants and light windbreaker seemed to do the trick-in addition to my skull cap and full-finger gloves. When it cools down like this I concentrate on slowing down and spinning. I may not get to work quite as fast but I'm generating more heat and feel more comfortable minus the wind. Almost ran into some dipsh$t wearing all blue or black, carrying a black briefcase, and strolling along one of the more dimly lit stretches of the trail without a light. Luckily I saw him and managed to swerve. I believe I yelled something like; "oh sh%t! -- on your left!" I think it's funny I still managed to get the "on your left" part out. Other than that my ride was pretty uneventful as I only saw one other rider and a handful of joggers.
