Yesterday, cool (35). Needed hat, gloves, 2 longsleeve shirts and a sweatshirt but still only shorts. I have determined that anything cooer than 35, I will need something on my legs. Not looking forward to that. Today, not so bad (44). Ditched one of the longsleeve shirts. Good news is that I may have a 20 mph tailwind for the ride home tonight!! Other than that, uneventful week thus far.

Taking the day off from riding today. I have not taken a day off for over a week and my legs have been feeling really weak as of late, so I want to give them a day to refresh.

Bit chilly. Sunny though, no rain. I'm finding my backpack is making my back sweat, even with wicking material and all that. Need to get a pannier soon.
Third day commuting in a row.. it feels great to leave the car at home! Sometimes can be difficult packing enough of a lunch though.

Chilly but a great commute. I wish people would keep their dogs in the yard!

I live in Florida, and commute 11 miles roundtrip 5 days a week.

I gotta say it's just starting to cool down , and the ride home is nicer & nicer everyday.

Best commute story this week? On the way home Monday, a girl i used to work with pulled up next to me at a red light & shared her joint with me. The rest of the ride home was.....well, a little slower paced

Cold this morning. I wore a hoodie under my helmet. I need to get something to protect my face.

Windy!!!! Today was a steady 25 mile per hour wind with 40 mile per hour gusts. I was not looking forward to the ride home, but I haven't had that good of a workout in months.

Pleasant ride home. A cold front came in this afternoon so the temp went from low 80's to 56. I seem to have overdressed for it. This morning I wore my biking shorts and a wicking t-shirt. I pack my arm/leg warmers as always and also packed raingear (lightweight rainjacket and pants I got at walmart) in case it stormed. For the trip home, I put on my arm and leg warmers and put on my rain jacket. I was sweating buckets by the time I got home. I now learned that raingear with layers underneath make for great insulation. I'll keep this in mind for when it really gets cold.

Chilly ride home...But, I don't have to go back to work until Monday and that made the ride sweet.

Good commute both ways. Felt like I was really going slow the whole way home. I did have a head wind but still. I think I want to get a computer just so I know if it's in my head or not.

2 inches of snow this morning and gusty winds. It was okay getting to work but it's odd to dress back in all my gear for the ride home. The gusting wind never stopped and temps stayed low. Wife beat me home because the wind slowed me down by 15 minutes.

Nice ride both ways today. A bit chilly in the morning 38f but mid 50s on the way home. Haven't mounted the DIY lights yet, so I'm still avoiding night riding. But that's not gonna last long.

32F and frost. Great return ride. In the past 2 weeks I've been putting on 135mi/week. This week will be less.

Ride to work was okay; 48F. Ride home was PUNISHING with strong gusts of wind, probably 41F. :notamused: I had one layer too many on top, one layer too few on the bottom. Gotta fix that.

Whenever I think my commute is hard I just thing about you people with your snow and freezing temps.

"Cold," is usually a relative and subjective term. IMO, though, and objectively, if the temperature is such that water will freeze (and thus, so will I), then it's cold. That being said:

36F/2C with light winds and clear. Not quite "cold" yet, but it's certainly a reasonable facsimile. :D

tough ride to work. about 40f with rain and pretty good wind in my face half the way. still beats driving. getting toughened up for winter

This morning, I'm in the right lane, I have the lane, I'm first at a red light. This dirt bag in a SUV pulls up next to me crowding the lane, taps my arm with his freakin' mirror.

I look over and it's this fat 20-30 something guy mumbling to himself. I shine my helmet light right in his face and the freakin' coward won't even turn to look at me.

They are all so brave when their 4 tons are moving, but when they are stopped they're wimps!

Rest of the ride was fine, I was just so PO'd!

That sucks, it's so weird how people think they're invisible when in a car.

Today was the first time I could ride the bike to work this week, I hate not being able to ride (had to take the car in for oil change, and take the son to school the past few days). It was so nice, slightly cool and overcast.

Raw. I'm not sure why I felt so chilled. Up too late last night maybe. It was in the upper 20s, F, with clear skies. Arrived at work just as the sun was lighting up the snow-capped Adirondacks across Lake Champlain. Pretty.

Some puddles of water had a crust of ice on top. Others were all liquid. Saw a flock of geese in the water.

Nice partial commute this morning. Low 40s, clear skies, I just rode slowly and enjoyed it.

I'm more worried about tomorrow with cold rain. Maybe I'll stop by Target on the way home to find something more to wear.

Chilly. 40 degrees F, into a wind of about 10 mph. Still warming up.

Chance of rain today, so i took the old beater (70's Iverson 3 speed)

Muggy & on the most uncomfortable saddle ever made, but my girlfriend rides this bike a lot more than I do, and she LOVES this saddle, so it stays on

On the way to and from work, I pass Tropicana field, where the World series is being held.....Yesterday, on the way home, there was a HUGE block party going on and the street was closed off to cars, so weaving through the herd of fans was a blast! This morning though, the stink of stale beer all over the street about knocked me off my bike! ha

cold ride this morning, i wore the thin gloves so i was constantly blowing warm breath into my hands, next time i will wear the snowboarding gloves...saw some ice patches this morning too, YIKES

31F...saw two other commuters, then at an intersection at the end of the MUP, four of us pulled up together and one dude said, "Man, traffic jam on the bike path!"
