Took yesterday off due to weather forecast and it helps to have a rest day every now and then. +11 today including a three mile time trial where I beat my 16 yo son by well over a minute. Not too shabby for a 48 yo fat guy.

How is commuting working out for you? I took a commuting class last night and learned a lot even though I have been commuting for a while. It's great to see what everyone has as far as equipment.

Where can one find a commuting class? I really did not want to ride in the fog today... 
almost brought the bike to work so I could ride home, but going to go long hopefully tomorrow...
Almost broke the Century for the month.... less than a mile to go to reach a hundred... pretty psyched about this... a whole new way of life for me!

It's nice, a great way to start and end the work day. I could be a bit more prepared/organized about it, but my ride's only a few miles each way so I don't sweat it too much. I tend to cram the day's work clothes into a back pack, leave work shoes at the office, pack small lunches 50% of the time which adds to the cram, and try to keep the bike well lit and visible, especially in the mornings. I'm considering panniers and a rack for some longer summer rides, so that may streamline things with the commute and take some weight off my back once the heat really gets up there this summer.

I usually take my glasses off and ride when it is foggy. I use two lights, one on the bars and one on the helmet. The helmet one is a little problematic because it cuts right into the fog. Do not be affraid of the fog, it is actually nice to ride in.

I find that I need to be orgnaized and pack the night before AND lay my clothes out in the order I put them on. No thinking involved! (or shall I say I cannot think cause it is so early in the morning when I leave!
) You will love getting the weight off your back. I had that issue too. Thank goodness for the panniers!
