50 this morning, so first time since May I wore the headband around the ears. Won't be long before I'll be hanging out in the Winter forum...

Another brilliant, cool morning. I didn't waste any time (well, not much) riding to work as I had an early meeting, but it sure was tempting to blow off work and keep riding. 60F is just about the perfect temperature to ride a bike, and with the normal low traffic on a Friday and missing the school traffic, I just wanted to ride.


It's been a rather strange summer; I don't think we've hit 100F yet. Of course, now that I wrote that, it'll be 100 every day in September. I think we're well above average as far as rainfall, but most of it hasn't interfered with commuting -- it either started at 6:00 and rained late into the night, or rained early in the afternoon and stopped by quitting time. Having jinxed myself so badly already, I didn't have a flat this month. (Yet.)

Chilly and breezy this morning. Still a few degrees warmer than [MENTION=247277]jrickards[/MENTION] commute, and I wore gloves :) .

On the way home yesterday, I was descending into the river valley on a winding MUP with a few blind corners and I always temper my speed accordingly. Partway down, I met an older gentleman walking his bike up the hill, and he said to me, "All clear ahead, nobody coming up behind me!", and I thought to myself - out loud - "How would you know?" Sure enough, there was someone coming up the hill behind him.

I left work early yesterday due to darkening skies and the forecast of a severe thunderstorm. Made it home just as the wind was picking up and the first drops of rain were falling. Had to dodge a few puddles (and what was left of a rabbit) on the way in today.

52F sunny nice

Lazy duck
 

Literally. Surprised by a little rain this morning; motivated me to one of my fastest times for this particular route. Loved the dramatic sky.

^^ hope he's not stuck

stuck duck is flocked :innocent:

A very pleasant uneventful but cool commute this am with the temp at 50f degrees when I left the house. Due to leaving a few minutes later than I have been I took a shorter ride today. Hopefully I can make up for it on the ride home.

Mid-60's and clear this morning. Good ride in to work today! The lower temps make the hills seem less of a chore!

Back to work today after more than a week off. Still not commuting on bike though. Although most of the road rashes have healed, there is still some discomfort around the upper chest/neck/shoulder area. Waiting for it to go away as well in the next couple of days. Hoping to get on the bike sometime later this week.

A very nice, cool ride this morning - almost long sleeve shirt worthy. But not for me as it is still August. The humidity was so low I didn't even get sweaty. About 63F and dew point of only 60F.

Hey all you with your frozen tundra temps in the 50s. It's a nice balmy 90 here! :)

Cool, clear, calm, uneventful.

I was going to complain about rain and wet conditions but seems gratuitous compared to what south Texas is getting.

50F, hazy

Like seven inches from the midday sun

Nice...I recognized it, but had to refresh my memory on who said (sang) it. I haven't heard that song in eons.

To expand on that... it was about 8am when I got away from the house with kiddo. We followed our normal route and it was 80F and climbing. Coming home it was 108F according to the forecast. The chart shows 109F at Sac Executive Airport around 5 and it's usually a few degrees lower here. My wife claims it was 118 somewhere but she's always finding the most outlandish number and then exaggerating it a little for effect.

Still beats Arizona. My last memory of that place in summer is helping my parents move some years ago during a record string of 110 degree days, when the temperature at night got down to 90. My poor old Dad with his failing heart and poor circulation kept the house at 80.

I had a job nibble from Madison, WI but then I looked up their weather. Under freezing entirely for two months. No thanks!

A nice ride in this morning with fog but not so heavy you could not see through it. The temp was 52f degrees when I left the house. A man bringing out trash to the curb told me this morning that I had a bright light on my bike. I am glad it is bright, I want and need to be seen by the drivers.

Cool and misty with wet roads from overnight rains. Yesterday afternoon had a bit of a headwind going home, but that was a nice tailwind today.

I stopped and pulled off the road briefly so I could move some good size sticks / branches off the road. They weren't completely blocking and I could get by fine, but they looked big enough to do some damage to a car and/or motorcyclists, one of which went by just after I cleared it.

Buses! Usually I pass one bus going north on my southward leg. This morning there were 3! And the southbound bus caught and passed me! That's never happened before.

63F, wet, and cloudy - I'll take it!

On the warm side of cool (14C/57F), cloudy, and calm. We're heading into a brief heat wave - up to 80F today and might even hit 90F tomorrow!

Sounds like cyclists talking about the grade and vertical distance of the last hill they climbed.

Entirely pleasant ride this morning. Calm, clear, cool, what more can a cyclist ask? Oh, yeah, I made that long traffic light on green!

I rode in yesterday and felt strong. I stayed late and got tired and left my bike at the office and took the subway home. I rode the subway in and plan to ride home tonight even if it rains, which it might.

cool and misty morning. Legs are getting stronger everyday. I'll be able to ride the bike 3 times this week.
I planned a bike trip around the Cabot Trail in late september so the legs must be up to the task!

73F, hazy, came in late due to middle school orientation

I might owe SWMBO an apology, the weather station in my neighborhood shows 116.4 yesterday.

Amazing! Just started a new job. 6mi each way on Palo Alto surface streets with a bike bridge over the freeway straight into the office. Bought a commuter bike with flat pedals and a rack, working on a dynamo hub setup.

Bay Area weather means it'll almost never be colder than 50 degrees or warmer than 80 degrees.

So thrilled with my new commute!

You're very lucky. The distance and climate are ideal, and the route sounds good, too.

My commute is about 13.4 miles each way, and it would be nice if it were shorter.
