Ahhhh, another great commute in this morning. I'm really getting into riding to different offices every day. Some commutes are longer then others and the variety is great. Our weather has been pretty decent too, a little windy but not a problem. Now all we need is to get things growing around us like grass, trees, flowers, etc.

perfect morning. 15 miles, light wind, 50 degrees, and a blast on my single speed.

I may think of some different routes to take on my commute to change things around a bit. Thanks for putting the thought in my head!

Great commute this morning. No tights or gloves required (48F). Saw a pair of wild turkeys in the park!

28F and sunny on the way in this morning. 48F with Thunderstorm out flow gusts in my face for the ride home. I managed to crank it to get home about 10 minutes before the rain hit!

Light rain, 49F with no wind today. Just wet enough that raingear was required.

Took the old bike today as I'm getting some additions made to the new one. Comfortable enough commute, traffic seemed a little lighter than it has been most of the week -- I'm sure that will rectify itself this afternoon.

I woke up early (6:00 is early for me). I got on the road around 6:40 and man it was 10x better than riding around 9 or 10. I just put my blinking rear light and my jet front light on and away I went. A nice cool morning ride. About 62F on the way home and I biked past a traffic jam. Peace.

Nice weather today and I was still in good form despite a "training" ride yesterday evening.

Have a good weekend folks,

Cheers,

Beautiful ride home yesterday. Weather was just about perfect. No wind, tempature around 72(F) and sunny. It was a real nice ride.

Ride in this morning was good, a bit cool but calm and quiet.

Good ride in today but I couldn't trip the sensor at a light that I normally have no problems at. The weird thing was that the SUV on the other side of the street didn't trip it either. After waiting for a couple of minutes, I went thru on red when it was clear. A couple of blocks later, I stopped at another light and had the chance to look back and saw that SUV still waiting there. Then I saw the driver hop out the run over to push the pedestrian button.

Don't like that word when talking 'bout bikes

Oh ya, little warmer this morning, 45 deg, a bit cloudy, again; no wind

Interesting ride in this morning. 28F/-2C and ICE FOG. Visibility was around 100'/30.5M. When I got to the office I had a layer of ice over the front of me. Even an ice cycle hanging from my "3rd eye" mirror!

ET_SoCal

Oh man, I'm in the mood today (Friday?)

Better then ice hanging from your "Third Knee"

Hmmmm... that was pretty good! Although I got a bad visual out of it
Another nice commute today, I took the long way in, put some extra miles in at lunch and I'll most likely take the long way home. Man, three days in a row that we hit the 70's, that's unheard of this time of year around here. I even got my wife out on the tandem last night! We hope to get more time with it this weekend. Enjoy!

Beautiful weather. 60's in the early morning there, 70's in the late morning on the way back. Today looks like it's going to be a bonus day as I get to cycle back in late this afternoon to proctor a test.

Zin

We're planning on taking the tandem out tomorrow as well! Temps are supposed to be in the low 60's here. Normally we would drive, but I talked the wife into doing our normal Saturday thrift store snooping on the tandem instead! (she can't fit as much in the panniers )

On the ride home I detoured by one of those local thrift stores near my office and found a 27" Columbia bike with full fenders! I've been wanting to put fenders on the Raleigh Rampar, so I went inside and paid the $4.99 for the bike and asked them to hold it while I went to Coleen's work and got the van. So I picked it up, and dropped the van back off to the wife and rode home.

Temps in the low 50s with popcorn clouds. You know, one of those days when the sun is on you part of the time and your way warm, then it goes behind a cloud and you get chilled. At least the wind was managable.

Kodama

Grey and windy today with squalls of rain that came and went several times during the ride. Appears I forgot my rain jacket which was O.K. for the ride in -- hope it's good for the ride home. Of course that's the nice thing about the <6 mile commute, one can pretty much always power through it.

ollo_ollo

Same thing down South Kodama: 53F, steady rain with intermittant downpour on the way in this morning and at lunchtime. I'm ready for another 80 degree weekend! Don

hey, its my first post here on these message boards. Been riding to work for the past 3-4 weeks or so.
Anyways, last Friday when I was riding home from work, some dude in a pickup slowed down beside me and asked me if I needed a lift !!!!!
Ya right!! I don't think so buddy.
Well, I guess he coulda been a pervert, but it seemed like he was genuinely asking me if I wanted a ride home.
Kinda funny it was.

Yeah, I had someone offer me a ride once, at the bottom of Mt Tamborine on a stupidly hot day. I didn't accept either.

On the original topic, saw a fleet of bats fly overhead this evening, and finally found a reason to get annoyed with someone drafting me -- i.e. when it's getting dark and the guy behind me has no lights.

Nice morning. 38F/3C, no wind. Had to do some evasive maneuvers to avoid some geese and went down. Glad I was only doing about 16MPH/26KMH. I hit hard on my left hip and slid for a short distance. The hip is a little sore, but otherwise all is well.

mtessmer

Boy, what a change in the weather, it was 88F/31C yesterday and it was 42F/5C on the ride in this morning. Hmmmm... at least it was dry. Anyway, it was still a nice commute and I took the long way in. It hasn't warmed up much this afternoon either (52F/11C) but at least the sun is shining.

orbilius

Been a bit windy. Ran into a tumbleweed and cut up my legs. At least some riders behind me got a good laugh.
