Adventurous ride home, at least for Texas. Temperature of 35 F, winds of 23, gusting to 38 out of the NNW (which was fine because a good chunk of my commute is SSE ;- ) I got out of work just a little early because it also shows precipitation on the edge of town.

Considering the ride was dry, I was dressed just right in blue jeans, short sleeve shirt, long sleeve t-shirt & hoodie (with the hood up underneath my helmet), and warm gloves. If it had started to rain my yellow vinyl jacket and pants would have seen duty but I'm not sure how effective they would have been.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, is the day I usually drive to work if I drive; I have an off-site meeting that I haven't quite worked out the logistics for (and I'll probably leave that for when the weather warms up a little; a mid-week break isn't the worst thing). I managed to ride last Wednesday, only because once a month the meeting is a breakfast meeting and was closer to my home than the office building I usually have to go to.
