Temperature reading on my computer held between 20F and 23F the whole ride here, plus, a winchill on top of that.

I was really starting to wonder if my fingers would still be attached to my hands when I got to work.

I got a surprise: Nice weather!

The weather report was threatening 30s and showers, but when I got outside, I found 45 degrees and cloud cover. Yes! It was just humid enough for me to feel, which is a nice change from either completely dry or raining. I made good time, too...good enough to make coffee (first priority) and put on makeup (which I only do if I have time after making coffee).

Coldest morning (36F) so far in NC this fall, and my first ride in the 30s since last spring. It felt great as I judged my clothing just right. It's easy to overdress when the temperatures start dropping, but I got it just right and hardly broke a sweat. My main problem was my glasses fogging up, and I am gonna have to come up with a fix for that.

I had to pull over to the curb for a fire truck responding to a call, the first time that has happened. Then I had to wait for another fire truck returning to the station later on in my commute.

For the full effect you should wear a bowler hat and carry a rolled-up umbrella!:D

There was a light drizzle on the way home tonight; I ride home late on a Monay after an evening rehearsal. It's kind of nice to have the city streets pretty much to yourself. Summer is also coming; it's still 15C at 11pm even with the rain.

Well, the weather is starting to get cooler. It was around 40 this morning, wasn't too bad. Just threw on a wind breaker over my regular clothes and made the ride into work.

I'm just about ready to tackle the real cold weather, just need to get a nice hat, and scarf. I'm trying to not look super fred-like, tying to avoid the balaclava. But we'll see.

This morning's ride was nice. No fatigue or hard work, just the 8 mile stroll to the office.

High 30s and dark on the way in. I was cold, but not freezing.

Definitely going to need some pants soon.

It was in the low 30s this morning. I'm not having any pain in my ankle/achilles, but I wanted to go easy on it, so I drove part of the way, and rode the remaining 3.75 miles on my hybrid.

I wore jeans, t-shirt, long-sleeve shirt, gloves, and a beanie under my helmet. I was plenty warm.

I had one guy in a pickup show off his new air horn while behind me at a red light. That wasn't cool.

Other than that the ride was good. I thinking riding about two miles away for lunch to add a little more distance to the ride.

Great weather, no traffic problems and my legs felt good.

First day back after 2 weeks + 1 day vacation. :( Temps in the high 20sF. Very light headwind.

Only saw one cyclist heading the other way. I did see two tire tracks in some frost on the MUP though. One skinny tire and one fat tire.

Temp was about 40F when I left the house. I am not ready for these cooler temps...I miss summer.

Another windy one, 1/2 headwind, 1/2 tailwind so i guess it all works out.

First commute under 50F today... it was 41F. Prepared for it by buying a base layer this weekend, worked out fine. First mile was cool/cold but the rest was OK! :thumb:

Chilly! Two wool layers on top worked great. Cotton pants, not so much. Cold quads.

chilly this morning, i had to pull out the balaclava for the first time and i am glad i did, i was pretty cozy for the most part but my toes were a bit cold when i arrived at work, some of the frosted over fields were really pretty and the steam rising up off the river was a nice sight also...so glad to be out enjoying the temperature changes loving the commute

rainy and cold. Auspicious single speed maiden voyage

Repeating what tarwheel reported, first cold commute since spring. Not bad, and I judged the clothing correctly (3 years of experience helps!). My fingertips were cold, but that's normal. It's time for my annual search for warm gloves--I've been reading the "Warmest winter gloves" thread to get ideas.

Another commuter was in the locker room this morning too. He's as lean as I am (maybe even more so, which is rare). As he came out of the steaming shower he was still blowing on his hands. We chatted about cold commutes; it turns out he couldn't find his gloves this morning so he rode beare-handed. :( Ouch!

Finally, my closest friend (besides my wife) also commuted today. This is her first year commuting and she misjudged the temps. I plan to provide her with my clothing chart for different conditions (based on a chart I saw posted here on BF a while ago).

32 and cozy. Felt fresh. Gotta love it!

It was dark this morning - not too surprising given that the sun wasn't up. :) I am so glad that I have flagrantly bright lights on my bike. There was lots of traffic on the way down the big hill, and most of the streetlights were off for some reason. Once we got past that bit it was smooth sailing.

Haven't been commuting very long, about 2 months. Wow, it was chilly! 38ºF, when I left and frost everywhere. I dressed warm enough, but boy, my eyes were watering something fierce. All in all, it was fun and for me, beats pedaling in the heat of Summer.

Had picked up cheep pair of knit gloves for under my cycle ones and got my new fleece hoodie this week-end and that worked out perfect for this morning.

Had the new panniers for the first time too, loaded to the hilt with this weeks clothes and all the manuals from last weeks training. Didn't lose any time coming in even carrying the extra 20 lbs. Guess I'm not as old as I look ;)

wet wet WET. Pouring rain. I can't imagine my gloves or socks will be dry by the time I head out at the end of the day.

Fun ride though, and my new raincoat worked amazingly well. I was really dry underneath, give or take some sweat.

Effin' COLD. Should've deployed the balaclava, today. Saw a bunch of other commuters, though.

Cool, not cold, but dark! I didnt' turn off the headlight until after 7.

37F/2or3ishC. Finally set aside the shorts (for knickers :D ), but stubbornly stuck with fingerless gloves. Pretty cold on the digits, but what the heck: the overture has barely begun! (Of course, it'll be full fingers for some months now, I imagine--at least on my AM run).

Been a few months since I've posted here--been too busy at work to even lurk much. Hope everyone has been doing well...
