Nice ride today,Feels like falls on it way. I hope it a nice fall this year . Thanks .

a perfect cool morning I took the back roads with quite a bit of climbing, 22 mile ride average speed of 15 mph. very little traffic and no sign of life, human or otherwise.

Nice cool morning I had today. The tempature was right around 39F. Made for a nice ride. I felt a little sluggish and heavy though. Not sure if it was the cooler temps or something wrong with the bike. See how it goes on the way home.

I found it a bit chilly (4 C with a windchill of 0 C). But I got to finally truly put my new Lake Winter Cycling shoes to the test. My feet were sweating by the time I got to work (50 minutes later, riding and light stops). I think I will have to get a shell to stop the wind. My knees felt a bit sluggish and a little cold.

37(F) degrees at our house. Gorgeous morning. Sun came up over the Green Mountains and lit up the top half of the Adirondacks in a blaze of yellow across the lake. Near 100% visibility. Crisp air. Lovely commute. :)

Nice sunny morning (made a change from yesterday). At last I am beginning to pick up fitness again on recovering from the worst cold I have suffered in years.

Cheers,

Ed

55°F when I started this morning; finally decided to wear the windbreaker till I get warmed up. Noticed a contrail outbreak this morning. Listened to some Micheal Oldfield while on the bike path. Generally a great day to ride!

yesterday's north wind slackened somewhat by afternoon, but i still wore the fleece home, which was a first.

this morning, oh, very crisp, 37 °F, clear as a bell. no shame in wearing tights, and gloves with fingers.

on published temperatures versus thermometers, it should be noted that temperatures vary spatially, so that number on the web or in the newspaper is unlikely to match your local reading. this is especially true in the morning, before the sun has had a chance to fire up the convective transfer of heat from place to place. the sort of weather forecasting you get in the papers and the television and so forth is rteally preposterous, saying today's high will be 62 °F but tomorrow's will be 63 °F, so it's really warming up folks isn't it? that is not meteorology, that is advertising.

33.8F this morning. I dressed well, except for the fact that I wore summer shoes, and my gloves really suck. I was warm @ first, but then when the gloves got moist from my effort, the wind poked trhough and made my fingers cold.. Off to shopping for good gloves this weekend.

The good news is, it was a beautiful, crisp fall morning.

The bad news is, some cretin smashed glass all over the path.

The good news is, I went back and picked up the glass.

The bad news is, I can't be sure I got it all.

The good news is, I had a spare tube.

The bad news is, it had a hole, too. (WTF?)

The good news is, I had a patch.

The bad news is, my "fits both Schrader and Presta!" pump doesn't.

The good news is, I had an adapter.

The bad news is, the patch let go so now I have a nice road bike with a flat rear tire in my office.

The good news is, there's an LBS about a mile away that will sell me a tube--maybe one without a hole.

The good news is, it's a beautiful, crisp fall morning.

44F when I left. As I descended to the river bottom I could feel the temperature drop. It must have been near or below freezing down there. Lots of frost on plants and the edge of the roadway. I had to stop and put my ear warmer thing'y on. Afterwords was nice ride in.

I'll be off the bike for a couple of weeks at the end of the month so I've been getting up early to do long detours into work. Yesterday, I did the River Road on the Yolo Co. side of the Sacramento River. This morning I headed over to the American River Bike Trail.

I noticed many friendly people on the trail this morning. Maybe it's because I'm just spinning along rather than hammering as I usually do. Maybe it's because I'm taking the time to wave to everyone I pass. Maybe it's because I was wearing my Cal Bears jersey and everyone's jumping on the Beat USC bandwagon.

Waved to some runners near Sac State. Said "hello" to an older man on a Trek on the Guy West Bridge. The Trek was a fairly recent vintage 1000 but he had the handle bars flipped over like cool dudes would do back in the day.

Another perfect way to start the day.

Very dense fog & 53F @ 6AM today. The few cars out at that hour honored my yellow strobes & multiple blinkies as they passed with caution & gave me a wide berth. Bright & sunny 62F at Noon but supposed to rain this afternoon, maybe I will repair the flat I got on the Bianchi yesterday afternoon. Don

did i read my thermometer incorrectly this morning? i saw 37 °F in ann arbor, although i'm fully willing to believe it was 10 degrees colder elsewhere in southeast michigan. where you at, mr. ridley?

Upper 50s at 6 am. Wore a windbreaker for the second time since last Spring. The day was starting out with a pretty deep marine layer--should be sunny by noon though. The bike path runs right through Hermosa Beach. I stopped for a few minutes to watch my daughter surf with her high school surf team. Made some calls to the corporate office in Baltimore (I love to call them when I'm at the beach).

Headed to work with a pretty good tail wind. Looking forward to the ride home in just about 5 hours!

Best part it's been three weeks since I put gas in my car (and I still have 1/2 a tank).

Took the long way to work today. Nice ride .
Thanks ...

cold here this morning, about a 4 mph headwind, I guess winter is upon us. I wore the lake MXZ 300's this morning for the first time this year and don't regret it, my feet were nice and toasty. Te ride was kind of on the tense side, the traffic seemed to be moving fast and sort of out of control. Well almost time for the studs.

Yep, same here, good feeling isn't it? :)

Ride home last night was pretty good. Bright and sunny which warmed things up, tempature was in the mid 60'sF. Traffic was light going through downtown, almost felt like a holiday.

Ride in this morning was refreshing again nice cool tempature of 37F. Did not feel sluggish like I did yesterday on the bike so it must have been me getting used to the cold again. :o

What an awesome ride! 50 deg in KCMO at 5:30 this morning. I love this time of year here. On my way, through neighborhoods, I always pass the same set of houses. I smell BREAKFAST! Man that smells good! I feel like one of Pavlov's dogs! Exclellent ride.

warmer, 46 °F, plenty of sunshine, comin' my way, zip-ah-dee-doo-dah!

I haven’t been on my bike in 9 days!!  I have been working vigorously on putting up a post-frame shed and have been making trips to and from the rental store. (I couldn’t figure out how to drag the 700# auger behind my bike.) Assuming I make it to the store to buy something warm on my head I will be back commuting tomorrow! 
Go Twins!

YEAH! GO TWINS! (I have some smack-talking to do here in the office today! :D)

Anyway, back to the great ride today! Temp was 50F! A bit on the breezy side. The leafs are being blown off the trees. Won't be long and the beautiful color of autumn will give way to the dull brown of winter.

I havn't been biking much lately, so I've been trying to ride more. I try to ride more but not so much that I'm too sore or tired to ride the next day.

Yesterday was great, did a quick 5 miles at lunch, then after work met my wife at the store to do some grocery shopping. Store was 12 miles round trip, on the way back there was a slight tail wind and I was cruising at about 22 mph. That's pretty fast for me! I also seemd to hit every green light. What a great day.

Biking down to work almost had two idiots plow into me on the right hand lane on a 2 lane road from left turners going opposite direction. I wish people in the left hand lane would stop trying to be nice and letting these people through. One day a car or someone is going to get broadsided.
