Warmer than I expected! First day in new office so have to start carrying the bike one floor of stairs. Tomorrow is supposed to be cold!

Was a pleasant drizzly commute...arrived to a fire alarm at the building and an hour+ wait to get in.

Drove in today and at 7:15am, the sun is just about to pop up over the horizon but that means that parts of the road are dark so that cyclist wearing black pants/tights and a dark top with no lights or reflectors/reflective bits was not seen until I was too close for comfort (10 m/yd) along that busy road.

Please people, don't be like that guy this morning, make it easy for drivers to see you.

Have a great (and safe) day!!

Do to upcoming commitments with customers and off-site visits, this is my last ride of the month. As it was, to ride today, I had to time it perfectly in my effort to dodge the thunderstorm. I only did so-so on that though, beating the worst of the storm by about 15 minutes, but still getting caught in a fairly nice rain shower. Still---it was well worth the risk.

57F, steady rain, and headwind. It was so dreary this morning our dogs didn't even get up

Warmer than I expected with 53 but very humid and the roads were still wet from overnight rain. Took the bike without fenders and stashed my rain gear in the garage since the weather terrorists say no rain. Rethinking my choices now. Angry looking sky as the sunrise creeped upward. Nasty, grey to black clouds. Battled a headwind the whole way too. Been a few days since I biked so it just felt good to be back on the bike again.

edited to add: We don't have magpies in this area. I've never seen one here until last weekend, spotted 2 on a backroad in northern Minnesota. Seen them all over when I lived in Idaho but never here.

61-degrees and absolutely beautiful for the commute this morning! Even had a tailwind.

My last ride of the month will be Friday.

A pretty good ride this morning. Foggy to start with as it's just still really humid here. Temps at 66 aren't bad, but I'm still quite damp when I get to work.

Nice. 48F, sunny.

I stayed home from work yesterday with a sore throat. I'm still home.

I made the mistake of going to my weekly singing rehearsal last night, thinking I was sufficiently recovered. It was exhausting. It was the sitting and trying to sing that was hard. The trip 10-mile round-trip by bike was easy. The air was dry, the air pressure was high, and the winds were low. It was a beautiful evening.

A very nice uneventful commute this morning. The temp was 52f degrees with clear dark skies and stars though no moon.

The weather lady on the news this morning promised that today is the last warm, humid day. The cold front has been slowly making its way across the southeast and should reach us tonight.

Runkeeper, which I occasionally use to track my rides (in addition to GPS watch), told me I had my fastest average speed today at 17.12mph. Not bad considering I had to stop for traffic a couple of times.

I've got a couple regular cars that pass me that have started to wave and honk after they pass. Friendly wave, not the middle finger type... I think...

50, calm but a bit humid yet. Things haven't really been dry around here for weeks. Bridge construction has the highway closed for the day so very little traffic as I headed into town. New route has been kind of a nice change. Not really into riding through a neighborhood stretch with all the background "clutter" that I can get lost in. Plus side, I stopped at the grocery store for some fruit on my way in this morning. May become a regular stop on the way home for a few groceries here and there.

Been trying out some new underarmour wicking layers. Kinda liking the new materials for staying dryer and warm in these mild to cool temps.

Cool (10C/59F), overcast with a slight breeze but a comfortable temperature to ride in. Sunny and 22C/72F for the ride home, that'll be nice too.

Today marks my 150th consecutive bicycle commute to work. The last time I drove was February 10th.

I had 150 as a goal last year, and got to 148 when we had a blizzard with 17 inches of snow. I tried to ride that day but only made it 1/4 mile in 1/2 hour before I gave up, turned around and drove my truck. This year I started my streak earlier so snow wasn't a factor (at least in the latter half!)

Now I'm going to shoot for 200 straight. Barring anything unforeseen, I will hit that mark on Dec 14th.

It was a slightly windy 61F this morning. I dressed for a little cooler weather by using a baselayer and knee covers. I felt nice and toasty after warming up on the Fort Lee Rd hill. I recently replaced my wheels with the same ones from Velomine (Velocity A23 with Origin 8/Formula hubs for Campy). The NDS spakes are starting to come loose like the previous pair. So will need to get my hands on some Loctite 222 purple for the spoke threads.

Cold enough to see my breath (or maybe I need to make an appointment with the dentist?)

Temperature was around 70F/21C for the commute last night, but a solid headwind all the way home. This morning was around 50F/10C and light winds. I actually saw 5 other bicycle commuters on my commute to work. That may be a record... at least that I've witnessed during a single commute! The beautiful weather we've had this week is getting folks out on their bikes!

Fall is definitely here! Low 50's this morning, ride in is now dark, and the temps for evening rides home aren't much different than morning temps. Time to start paying attention to wet leaves!

40F, sunny at home (to the west), peasoup as I got closer to work (from the northeast)

Had my little surgery. Definitely no bike rides for another month or so

We have magpies here, it never occurred to me that I'd need to fear them

A very nice uneventful commute with the temp at 48f degrees and cloudy dark skies. Just a straight ride to work today, hopefully next week I will take a different route that adds a few more miles. It will depend on the temp and other factors.

Great pics ^ keep 'em coming.

Blasted headwind coming in.

Powerful lungs to cover the whole valley with your breath! Cool pic!
