I started commuting on July 19th. Since then I have logged 700 miles, justified $200 of bike stuff purchases and have 124 more commutes to justify the bike I purchased (My wife is picking up fenders for me tonight, I guess that number is 126 now!) Unfortunately I won’t have time to put those fenders on before my commute tomorrow. It’s supposed to be thunder storming on my ride home… But since when can you count on the weatherman!?

It was windy and damp on the way home this evening, I used my light as it was very overcast and drizzly. The good news is; my battery still had enough power to make it home. That’s good to know with the clock change impending. (I wish they would get away from that... I would probably vote for someone willing to quit this daylight savings time $#!^!!!)

I hammered on the way in this morning as I started late and was pushing a head wind. That wind shifted to be mostly a cross wind on the way home, and I just didn’t have the legs.

I had to stop and shed a layer today. I hate loosing my momentum like that.
