Twas a good ride in. A little damp but now its beautiful and can't wait to get on my bike and take "the long way" home. Ah what a gorgeous day. Its supposed to snow tomorrow. I'm happy to get another day in before it hits.

This is going to be a very dark ride home. I just hope it's not raining yet (left the waterproofing on the wrong side of the trip).

Tree Trunk, if it rains or snows tomorrow, be safe! I'll be on a plane to Louisiana, where it may rain but it certainly won't snow. My next commute: Monday morning.

Gnight, all!

No rain but overcast & 48F at 6:30 AM today. I had some shoulder pain last night so I slept in a bit this morning & went in to work 1/2 hour later. It was still quite dark and I had much more traffic to contend with. Made it to work in my usual time & was impressed by the courteous drivers I encountered. On my commute home at lunch time, I was pleased to note the City of Olympia had run a street sweeper & the bike lane was much cleaner. I have errands to run tomorrow & need to drop my dogs off at the kennel for the holidays so I may drive. Looking forward to Thanksgiving in Salem with the kids & Grandkids . Don

Nice ride to work & home .It feels like it warmed up today . Have a good nite .

Had a good night ride home last night in the dark. 15MPH wind at my back. Saw one cat on the trail.

This morning it was raining and that wind was now a headwind. Had to push to keep the speed up. Good ride though, and it only rained for a minute or two.

Edinburgh was grey and misty this morning, but weather mild and a slight tailwind made the trip shorter than normal.

Wow what a wild ride! It snowed 2-4 inches last night. This is the first snow in Kansas City this year. Of course I rode in. It's a tradition around here where I work. I always ride in, especially if it snows. People I've worked with for 7 years still shake their heads. However, there were some things I forgot from last year:
1) People who drive and talk on the phone when the roads are dry...STILL CAN"T DRIVE!
2) Hot coffee still freezes.
3) Cameras don't like the cold. I was able to get one pic before my camera locked up.
4) Anti fog glasses will fog up at the precise moment you hit a rut in the snow.
5) Most of all, I forgot how much fun it is to ride in the snow!

Warm & damp morning commute. Roads were pretty wet and I didn't see the shattered beer bottle until too late. Immediately heard the rotating hiss at the front tire. Luckily I was only about a mile from my office & managed to make it there before it went completely flat. Patched it up and now waiting for the afternoon ride home in the predicted thunderstorms. Is it just me it does it seem like there is a lot more broken glass on the roadways lately?

40 °F, blustery and a steady rain...i guess i am officially not a fair-weather commuter! and for those of you in the pacific northwest (or anywhere else) who put with this sort of weather all the time, i give you your propers. have a good holiday!

It was a good ride today; -6C with a light dusting of snow. Overall very uneventful.

Drizzle and fog this morning, but the temps were comfortable, in the low 50's. Left a little later that usual and didn't even try to make up the time, just enjoyed the ride. Saw a few joggers and only one rider, if last year is any indication, I'll see fewer and fewer riders as the weather worsens. My new 700 x 35's do well in the wet and I felt fairly confident on the fallen leaves too.

Drizzle and 53 F / 13 C this morning. I wore my rain gear just in case, but left the coat unbuttoned. I didn't see any other bikes on the road; to be fair, I should note that I saw few automobiles as well. School is out and most people seem to be getting an early start on our Thanksgiving holiday.

A lovely day in St Louis! 40's, rain, driving gusty wind out of the north. My morning commute is to the north so at least it wasn't a crosswind. St Louis is pretty hilly so only a few gusty spots where the rain felt like frozen peas pelting against my masked face. I made several mistakes in clothing. Forgot my shoe covers so my shoes and socks were soaked, but fortunately wore heaviest wool socks so toes were not frozen solid. Thin spandex head mask so face was wet and cold. Need to break out the winter gear. Poly long sleeve shirt with gortex shell kept body warm, but I was soaked to the bone. Warm shower was great. But my clothes will be all wet for tonight's ride back, arg.

I heard on the radio this morning that snow is expected this afternoon . . . so that confirmed that I would bike in. I do NOT want to be caught on the highways in St Louis in a car. These drivers are CRAZY in the snow. It is great biking in a wet snow, with no ice. There will be car accidents left and right, blocking up all the roads, and I will be able to putter by on the sidewalk or side streets. Looking forward to it.

The forcast for today: Rain with a slight chance of snow dusting-

Hardly anybody on the streets of our fair town this morning. Looks like folks are already off for the holiday. Fine with me. Maybe I'll get some work done without the phone ringing all day.

Yep, that stuff is falling on St Louis right now! Noon. Yay!!!

I hope you get what we got! Really wet, dense snow. I think we ended up with about 6". A little tought to ride in if it's cold. The semi-frozen slush made it tricky. It's still a hoot.

52F & light winds & rain @ 6AM today. Shoulder felt pretty good so I rode in on my Centurion rain bike. Commute was uneventful but since we are 1/2 staffed today due to the holiday, it has been pretty crazy due to coverage issues, took my lunch an hour late & rode home in gentle rain which stopped by the 1/2 way mark. Everybody have a good Thanksgiving holiday. Don

First time I have been able to ride to work in a couple of weeks because of having to pick the kid up from the baby sitter or run errands, but it has gotten way cooler than the last timre I biked. Today was about 21F or so when I went to work. Once I started peddling I got warmed up, but I have to find something to help keep my feet warmer. And if anybody who is getting snow doesn't want it, feel free to ship it to Central Wisconsin, third straight year without having snow on the ground for deer hunting or Thanksgiving

Worked 12-9, not a bad day to go in late. We had severe thunderstorms moving through the area but they had mostly dissipated by the time I got on my bike around 11. The ride home was beautiful and dry, clouds underlit by the lights from the city. Weather in Atl is perfect (to me) low 60's today, though the prospect is for more chilly temps soon.

First day of snow! It was a great ride home tonite. 33 degress, 32 mph N. wind W/42 mph gust and wet heavy snow. Roads were slushy but not slick. I had a blast.

Hard rain all day. I still rode to work and home. My rain gear didnt hold up, I was soaked by the time I got to work. I changed into my uniform so I was dry until i Went home. Then I got soaked again. It was still a good ride. Happy Thanksgiving!

We had our thanksgiving day turkey about 6 weeks ago. It is a special day in our family though. My daughter turns 8. I remember that being an awesome age. Anyhow, good ride in this morning, -5C with a 15k breeze. Two things happened today; a joker thought he could pass me and cut me off before we had to stop at an intersection. So there he was sitting in the left hand lane at a stop sign because he was too arrogant to admit he was wrong. Although I suppose the alternative was to just push me into the curb. Wish I had a camera. Secondly, crazy lady at an intersection with four lanes that goes from one way into a two way decide to turn left from the right hand lane. Luckily she was courteous enough to signal before she cut off a half dozen vehicles. I did my best to make sure I was not anywhere near her intended path or the aftermath.

Only one day, till the weekend.

Freezing rain and sleet last night and the first below freezing temperatures of the season. This morning it was -1 C with patches of black ice. Overpasses/bridges all over town were backed up or closed due to motor vehicle collisions.

I commute about 6 miles a day. Suburban roads with a few stop signs and almost no traffic...talk about heaven. Today it was snow adn a fairly good wind. Thank God for Gore-Tex.
