Did a 5-day bike commute week, first time in quite a while. Especially neat since we had about 4 inches of rain on Wednesday and I was riding in water up to the bottom bracket in a few places. I hit a Bott's Dot yesterday on the way home and popped a spoke, so my son is going to run the wheel of my normal ride (1994 Nishiki Sport XRS hybrid) to the LBS for a spoke replacement.
This morning I rode my 1973 Varsity to work. The Schwinn touring saddle bag I bought for it is almost as roomy as a pannier; lots of room in there. With the temp in the mid-40s I wore long pants for the first time this season. I over dressed a bit since this was the coolest morning so far, with a long-sleeve t-shirt, a pullover hoodie (with hood pulled up under helmet) and my hi viz windbreaker over that, plus gloves. A little warm but I wasn't in the mood to get chilled this morning.
