Stalled on the bike commuting

I have a work schedule where I work 4-5 days a week (every other Friday off). Since September I've been averaging riding to work every day of the week except one, when I have off-site meetings that I haven't worked through how to ride to (yet). Anyway, aside from that day which is usually Wednesday, I've been riding every day of the week.

Except this week.

Monday was a combination of severe weather, and I had to stop on the way home from work to pick up flooring I'm putting down in my living room (from a place very near my office), so I decided to drive. The thunderstorms were supposed to end Monday night, but I awoke to the sound of thunder on Tuesday. I got lazy and stayed in bed a little longer since I won't ride my bike in a t-storm. By the time I got ready for work (and by then too late to ride), the storm had cleared off and I could have ridden after all. Today is that day when I have off-site meetings.

Tomorrow I plan to ride; in fact I couldn't ask for better weather- sunny with 50-degree temps in the morning and a high in the 70s, with light winds. But then Friday I have off. I plan to ride, but not to work.

So where I've usually been riding every day except one, this week I'm only riding one day.

I'm a little worried that with the colder weather coming in, I'll get lazy and give up riding for the winter. Help me, BF Buddies! Inspire me to ride!
