Last night's commute was awesome. I stopped off at the pub on the way home, got a Ship burger and a couple pints of the good stuff. After leaving said pub, I got to ride home in total darkness for the first time this season. I flipped on my lights as I was leaving, and everyone shielded their eyes.

This morning, things are chilly. -4C! I haven't had to ride in anything below freezing since April. I had to scramble a bit to find my legwarmers and shoe covers, but got it together after some futzing about. My mittens were right where I left them after last week's mitten-and-shorts ride.
