30 degrees

no long underwear

no balaclava

My ride
 

I commutted yesterday. 30 miles to work with 15mph headwinds gusting to 20. Ride home was nice with 12mph tail winds Time home was a little faster. Ha!

Glad your wife is OK, funrover. Now you know how fast you can go, you'll never be satisfied with 45 mins ever again!

Slow ride this morning. Just felt a bit tired, so I cruised along. Warm, too.

It was close to 50 degrees on the way in and on the way home...decided to add a few extra miles to my ride home...so beautiful. People are starting to put out xmas decorations...makes for a nice beautiful ride. Supposed to be cold tomorrow though, no prob.

Cancelled due to a storm that extends all the way out to Japan! WOW

chilly this morning and tonight on the ride home (32〬).

Rode in at a brisk pace. Met up with my wife for the ride home. Gorgeous.

LOL, well I do have new goals. But I honestly never want the situation to arise like that again!

Today was my first commute since May. I'll spare you the excuses.

Ride in was OK. I'm about ten minutes slower than previous commutes on my 17 mile inbound ride. Nothing to report on the trip aside from the fact Eastern PA is beautiful.

The return trip began to go downhill quickly when the drizzle arrived hours before it was forecast to start. I left work at 10:35 this evening, and the rain began before 11:00. I first noticed it when riding across the wooden pedestrian bridge over the Schuylkill River. I was cold and very wet by the time I got in, but somehow or other I managed to turn in my best time on a homeward ride. I guess rushing to get home before the rain began to freeze motivated me. :)

Great ride! It was dark as usual. Halfway in my ride, I pass a house with two dogs loose at the front. They barked and gave chase, I turn around and chase them back. They run up on the porch half whimpering and barking. I win so I ride on.
If you can't run with the big dogs, keep your butt up on the porch!

My once a month drive to work for a doctor's visit was today. I seriously do not understand how anyone can commute daily on our interstates here. 30 miles at high speeds with a car length separating vehicles. Did it for 5 years. yuck

Anyhow, I drove through a pile of tumbleweeds and my only thought was that would have been easier to avoid on a bike. :p

Yesterdays ride home was wonderful. No wind and since it was the last commute of the week I was able to ride as fast as humanly possible. No need to conserve.

Yeesh. :( Glad she's okay. There's a program here in Burlington where "alternate commuters" get a free cab ride if there's an emergency.

My ride in was nice. Sun coming up. A tick below freezing, with a headwind I didn't particularly appreciate, but I dealt with it.

For some reason I felt really good this morning. Temps were in the 50s and it had rained all night, but quit long enough for my ride in. I caught mostly green lights and took the slightly longer route. Fun stuff.

Have to drive to an appointment today. I'll make up for it by cycling to lunch and later tonight after work.

I had a good ride in, saw a couple commuters I think they were high school kids. Looks like a little rain for the ride home so that should be interesting but I was really hoping for a mix of rain and snow, soon enough I suppose.

Now that the little guy had his tonsils out and had a good post-op, I'm back to work and back on the bike!!

And the first ride back is...40 degrees, rain, wind...ahhhh, back in the saddle!

I haven't rode since Monday. That's weak. I even sold one of my two cars (and the remaining car is a beater).

The weather looks tolerable tomorrow, I'm planning on riding. That, and the scale says I've gained weight. I think it lies.

My bike lane that I have to share with buses, but no one else except right turning vehicles was packed full of yellow cars, all of them blocking my way and slowing me down. None were a bus and few turned right. So I ended up splitting lanes right down the middle of Lex for most of my commute. To top it off, I forgot my rear blinky at home and it's gonna rain later and I'm dressed all in black.

Man was this morning beautiful!

Full moon, very few wisps of clouds in the sky, ~50F or so, low traffic and riding the new bike.
Man, does it really get any better?

well yah... if the new bike had some Trekking bars... it might be better =)

Cold, dark, wet and rainy. Broke out the rain pants this morning. Fun! Fun! Fun! I forgot how cold thin layers of rain-gear against bare skin is. I was pretty comfy and mostly dry on the inside, though. It was very satisfying to have made it in - put me in a good mood - especially since I beat the bus again this morning. (They average around 15 -18 mph overall)

Smooth all the way in today. I even had a lane to myself through downtown, as ALL the cars went to one of the other three. I had to ride extra-fast so I didn't feeel like I was holding anyone up.

Don't ya just love when that happens. Then it's done and gone and yer like... "whoa... that rocked!"

I have a new (used) laptop that, unlike my previous one, doesn't require an AC outlet. It will actually charge its battery and give me about two hours of work time.

So today I started looking for places to stop and write on my way to work.


The end of this pier was a little cold, but I got my 250 words done. Tomorrow... we'll see.

Over slept, took my truck part way.. rode the rest. The weather is awsome.. wish I would have got up in time.

Not too bad this morning. Wet pavement but no rain and in the mid 40's. Might be rain for the ride home but I don't care about that as long as its not too cold. Just now the sun came out for the first time in what seems like a week!! Also by the time I got to my office my front tire was flat!! At least I know what I'll be doing after I eat my lunch.
