Fricking COLD. In town, it's warm enough that I started sweating a bit, and then when I got into the corn fields, I turned into a cold head wind and all the sweat made my chest and stomach numb. Gotta figure out how to fix that...

'Twas sunny but rather nippy this morning. About 40F. If I had a longer commute, I would have layered more, but I did fine for my little short one. I could have used some ear coverage, but it still wasn't bad.

It was mid thirties, and raining, with a nice stiff headwind.

I wore my rain gear, but my lung didn't like the moist air. and my bike is now covered in road grime. laaaaaame.

About 34F, with a wiind chill in the mid 20's. Then add bike speed, you get the picture. COLD, but I still enjoyed every minute.

First time on the NuTeck airless tires. I was a bit nervous. Handling is different - squirmy feeling sometimes.
Sluggish - definitely more rolling resistance.
Jury's out.

23F. Need to move to the next level of clothing. Larger shoes to accommodate thicker socks and different gloves. Otherwise, it was beautiful with the waning moon and all. :)

dressed too warm today, had to stop and remove a layer. Much better than the alternative, though. Got stuck riding with inadequate gloves a few weeks ago, not fun at all.

Only one buzz today, and that was inside my company's campus which means a high likelihood it was one of my lovely coworkers. I'm pretty sure the same guy has buzzed me on campus before. A**hole.

I'm down until I get my rig back from the shop...shifter indexing for the rear derailleur went out, will have the grip shifters (which I loathe) switched to trigger shifters.

A bit cold. Worst part is i couldn't find my cold weather gloves. My hands were freezing to start out. I did warm up but i can kinda still 'feel it' in the bones of my hands.

A little chilly, but my legs were surprisingly fresh and springy after 4 days off the bike.

Great ride, even if I did have to get to work after it!

No problems, although I buggered my headlight and had to fab a new one at 11:00 last night. Booooo! The new one is a 20W halogen overvolted to ~15V. Bright, but running super hot. I'll have to see if I can find a better housing for it, 'cause I could smell it burning the plastic. :(

Completely wimped out. Woke up sick, and called into work. I'm not going in. I won't be going outside at all today, but I may spend a little time doing maintenance on the bikes.

Currently enjoying a hot coffee while sitting around in "base layers" :)

Awesome ride this morning.
was about 43F. I had a few good layers of clothes on and my legs were fine. Hands were cold. I gotta remedy that. My neoprene gloves (Specialized Equinox) aren't working anymore.

I don't think I've posted in this thread before.

4C this am in Toronto, windy, light rain. It was cold enough to ride fairly fast with no worries about sweating, but there was some wet leaf slime to contend with so I was cautious in places. I skipped the ear band and my ears were cold until I got a couple of km south - even on my 8km commute you can feel a slight weather change as you head downhill towards Lake Ontario. Fingers a bit cold when I locked up. I need some wet weather fall gloves.

set out at 7:40, very fresh day, lovely autumnal morning sunshine, on with the deerstalker hat to keep my lugs toasty. coming home at 4:30 the sun was on the wester so a chance to try my revised homebrew lighting system, after the morning ride's charge had run down my lights seem a bit dim. ok it's a 1963 sturmey archer dynohub and it only kicks out 0.3amps but thought it should be brighter as i have 3X 0.1amp bulbs; 2 tail lights, 1 head light, dynohub run through a rectifier, capacitor and 5X 1.2 volt ni mh batteries wired up in parallel a la sheldon brown. took a bulb out of one of my tail lights and it seems a tad brighter but hoping i won't blow a bulb on the high speed downhill going to work.

Just a bit breezy..36 deg F (2 deg C) and 20 mph (23 kph) out of the NNW. Wet leaves so had to be careful...

left gloves at home, that sucked. 30s and windy but still wore shorts - wasn't bad once I got moving.

going home with Nu-Teck airless for first time. I'm trying to be fair, but I don't think I'll keep them on. Otherwise, commute was uneventful. It took me 4 minutes longer and I think that is in part due to the tires.
There wasn't any wind.
I just put lights on because it's getting darker, but not dark, during the hours I commute. Drivers were closer than ever - moths to a flame, maybe?

Michigan's weather today has been like it always is here.
2:30pm - Sunny partly cloudy
3:15pm - Complete cloud coverage, and sleet (stings a bit on the face)
4:30pm - Partly couldy, light wind
5:00pm - Tried to dutch my friends bike to shop for repairs, it was too small and had to walk it with mine for 2miles
5:45pm - cold, high wind, SLEET SLEET SLEET, 25mph winds, was starting to hurt from so much hail and high winds, so i stopped at the coffee shop.
6:00pm - Constant drizzel, clear skys, nice sun set and rainbow

The cold weather has officially hit.

I probably shouldn't be allowed to use the term "cold front" when some of you ride in real cold weather; however, we had one pass through last night that resulted in steady 15-20 mph headwinds for my seven mile commute this morning. That was tough but it sure was fun coming home with that tailwind!!!

started in a really bad mood. The hills seemed taller traffic more hostile weather colder than reasonable. once i got over the third climb, got into it and all was good. Except for the bit about ducking down the frontage road in front of the big fire station... :innocent: I figure a bicycle is to small to get in the way if there happens to be a true emergency just at the split second i ride by.

YIKES.. that's how I sum up today. Most of the ride was great with the exception of almost smashing into a minivan. I was coming down a hill around 35 MPH when a minivan pulled in front of me on a left turn. Luckily last minute he saw me.... I escaped by about 4 - 5 inches.... I talked to him after and he apologized. Didn't yell at him just asked him to be more cautious.

Kind of cold today, if this keeps up I better start using my fleece headband soon. It's not pretty, but it works.

A little chilly this morning, about 44 degrees. Still dark when I head out. I wore my biking shorts, leg warmers, cotton pull-over shirt and a pull-over fleece...And gloves. Nice and quiet ride. I warmed up the last mile.
