Nice commute in today. Up to 180 commuting miles for the week and I think I will take the bus home to rest up for tomorrow's ride.

I'll likely be fighting a 40MPH head wind on the way home tonight thanks to my reckless use of words! :rolleyes: 54 F when I left, no head wind, man it was perfect! Didn't even break a sweat! The ride home should be about 74 and partly cloudy, I can't wait! TGIF!! |
Back on the bike today after having 2 days off from work. Humid and sticky this morning, though cooler than usual . Had the customary afternoon thundershower, then very nice and cool for the ride home at 8:00. Took my fenders off Wednesday because I could not get them to fit properly, the wet roads this evening made me pay. ;) Must do some fender modification when I get the time.

Cloudy again this morning but it began clearing up at lunchtime & by this afternoon we had clear skies. only saw a few other commuters out today despite the beautiful day.
|
Yesterdays ride. 4 deg C @ 5:45am with frost on the rooftops. (I live in southern Ontario) Question to Mother Nature " What the hell are you doing up there"???
|
No biking for me today, had to attend a friend's father's funeral after I worked for about 3 hours. Back on the bike to work tomorrow.
|
Nice, clear, cool morning, I rode in on the old raleigh this morning, I took my time and relaxed on a recovery type ride after a high mileage weekend. I rode a century Saturday and another Sunday, I don't heal as quickly as I used to, the old age is getting to me.
|
Lovely clear sunny morning. However, I was a bit sluggish today, following completion of a 75 mile ride for charity yesterday. No real soreness to speak of, but climbing the hills definately showed up the tiredness in my legs!
Cheers, Ed |
Contrary to everyone else above, I felt OK this morning, despite 200km and 2,500 metres of climbing over the weekend. Guess it just wasn't enough to upset the applecart, maybe I'll do longer rides on weekends in future.

The most beautiful morning commute of the year! Got clocked at a speed trap going 10mph though....
|
What a difference it makes to leave the house with plenty of time to get to work. No sweating, no need to break (err, bend) any traffic laws, no problem. An absolutely gorgeous Sacramento morning. These are the days when I look at these folks in their cars and wonder why they haven't figured it out....
|
Gorgeous commute this morning. Clouds kept things shady and cooler for most of my commute. After Saturdays Ride the commute was a a little dull on the scenery. Makes me kinda wish I worked in tortilla flat. Anyway, the legs felt good today despite the 4000 ft of climbing on Saturday (they are used to around 2000 so that was a bit of a jump). Anyway, great commute.

80F and very humid… supposed to rain most of the week. This morning was a good ride in… I left the house late but made up the time on the way in. :D (huffin and puffin :o ) I'm starting to see some regular faces on my rout.
|
53F with light winds this morning. Took the weekend off of the bike due to other obligations. Just took it nice and easy. I almost stopped to take the wind jacket off.
Forecast for the week is mid 80sF and sunny. |
Back to hauling the trailer, as my daughter has started drama camp. My morning commute now last an hour and includes several steep hills. It is quite a workout -- but a pleasant one. One particularly good part is riding along the Three Mile Run bike trail in the silence of the early morning, watching and listening to the birds.

Great to be back on the bike this morning after some time out of town with work. Cool temps after more rain yesterday afternoon. I just spent a week in Elko, Nevada (and will spend many more there in the coming months) which has me strongly considering a folding bike to travel with so that I don't miss out on riding while on business trips. I almost always have the time (most on-site days are 6am-4pm), just don't have the bike!

Friday's commute was absolutely lovely in the morning, but Friday night we had an unpredicted downpour. And then, halfway home, already soaking wet just over the bridge and I roll through the remains of somebody's snapple bottle and get not one but two flats. Since I only ever have one spare tube with me, I had to walk to the subway, which was airconditioned and so very cold for poor wet me. Luckily I had a warm hoodie in my (thankfully waterproof) bag. So not so great. Today's has been good til now. We'll see what the evening brings.
|
Really nice morning today, clear and warm with a nice tailwind. However I just wasn't feeling all that great. Still enjoyed the ride, but wish I'd just stayed home.
|
Pretty busy with work & other duties the last 2 days. Commuting yesterday and today were similar: sticky and humid going in at 10 am, wet wet wet coming home at 7. Thank goodness I took my fenders off, we needed the rain. ;)
I would much rather ride home in the rain rather than the high 80's f with similar humidity it would be without the thundershowers. |
Another beautiful day for commuting. 59F at 6AM with just a little fog rising off the lake. Had a fast ride in on my Miyata & by lunchtime it was warming up nicely. I made the return from lunch trip on my Grand Jubile. It was 81F this afternoon but I still tried to do some yardwork when I got home. Knocked off for the day at 6PM. Tired, sweaty & looking forward to those cool evening breezes. Don

While at home for lunch I found that the mailman had dropped off a toy that I had won on ebay. I bought it for my 5 yo, but this Playmobil set of bicycle racers (#3849 ) would look nice on my desk so I stuffed the package in my unbuttoned shirt and rode off to work. Feel very much like a messenger I made it to work in good time!
I saved the box. The kid will get the toy for his birthday party. Meanwhile, I get to play with it during the Tour De France while at work. Temp today was about 83 and humidty was 60ish. |
Left the house in fairly hard rain, it cleared as I rode and turned out to be one of the most pleasant commutes this year, lots of wild life and not much traffic.
|
Nice ride in this morning. Woke up late and took my time coming in. Tempature was around 60(F). Supposed to be a nice week coming up.
|
What a great morning. Temps were in the upper 50's and the legs and lungs felt good all the way in. We had some severe rain on Sunday evening and there are still a couple of spots on the trail that have the "thin water mud". I've had a couple of bad experiences riding through that kind of mud, so I now walk around them.
|
It has rained here for the past 8 days. I nearly made it in all the way this morning before getting wet. Sweet. I decided to put my bike under the stairs of my building rather than leave it out in the rain again. So after showering at the gym I rode my bike over to my building. I felt like a kid again riding in jeans, no helmet and had my lunch bag in my left hand. Now to wait and see what the afternoon monsoons bring.
