Ride in was good this morning. About 42 when I left. Bummer is I can't find my full fingered gloves so my hands were cold. Had a flat but still made the 9 mile ride to light rail in 36 minutes (including tube change time). I think this might have been the only dry rider into work this week.

Beautiful day today, lots of sun, mid 30's (f) and a light tailwind. Doesn't get much better.

Must have been a wild weekend around here. Airline size bottles spaced about 1/3 mile apart for three miles.

Heading home right now, with major wind:

Wind Speed: NW 33 G 40 MPH

I took the bus in this morning because it was even windier than that. At least it's sunny. Wish me luck!

We got some wind here in Toronto too. Going south was fun. Coming back north... not so fun.

First commute this morning. I got about 2km away from the house when I ran over a chunk of scrap metal thus ending the commute! Oh well. I'll patch it tonight and give it another go tomorrow.

Not a great start to commuting, APTokyo. But think of it this way: it probably can't get much worse!

No bike again today, winds still gusting over 40mph, and going in it would be in my face the entire way. East coasters, how'd you fare?

Last night was a great ride home, I actually had the wind at my back for the bulk of it...nice for a change Also was down to shorts and a long sleeve shirt. Only a matter of time now....
This morning was a nice, easy ride into work. Light traffic, good weather, slight wind.

On another note: I just passed 1,000 miles for the year. Yay! Last year it took me twice as long to do this same amount

It was a beautiful morning for a ride. 35deg F and sunny. There wasn't very much wind though. I guess the "highlight" would be almost getting run over by a granny in a caprice.

The morning ride was good. It started snowing but it wasn't any trouble. I lucked out with this nor'easter... I had a tailwind yesterday riding home, and a tailwind this morning. I rode home in shorts yesterday. First time this season.

Had my first run-in with the trolley tracks yesterday...they ate my front tire and I almost went down but, somehow held on. After work commute was great, ran into a fellow commuter riding the same bike as me and had a nice conversation for a few miles or so.

What a commute. In two days I have had two flats. So....instead of just changing out the tube and running with it, I used the patch kit. While the sealant was drying I checked out my tire. Lo and behold....a rock was wedged in the tire at the exact spot of the puncture (glad I am anal about how I position the stem and the tire name). Overall...successful patch and fix.

However, when getting the tire back on, I noticed a spoke just hanging there loose. Man....flat AND a broken spoke. Glad I have 36 spokes on the rear. So...I just removed it and plan to get it replaced tonight.

Other than that...the rest of my 13 mile commute was awesome! Rain this afternoon....but at least I found the culprit that was caused the last two flats.

Note to self....ALWAYS check the tire both inside and out (as well as the rim). I should knw this as I am almost celebrating 2 years of commuting! But....haste has made tube waste for me these last two times.

the bike cage was jam packed this morning. We'll see how many of them are here tomorrow when it rains all day. It'll be a good test for my new waterproof gear.

On the last mile I fell in behind a Super Fred: old style styrofoam helmet with nylon cover, Greg Lemond style Oakley sunglasses, STP jacket, dress slacks tucked into socks, loafers. On a single-speed with full fenders.

I aspire to be that guy some day.

Sunny, +8c, no wind. Female joggers, hard to beat that.

Ride was nice this morning, high 40s with not much wind. I wimped out yesterday (afraid of the same winds as ItsJustB). The 2 other commuters at my work rode in yesterday.

Though I technically commuted on Sunday, first ride to work again today in almost 2 weeks. Over the cold, finally - just achey from my weekend ride and charity walk.

Great ride in, felt wonderful - drivechain is a lot smoother and quieter again now that I cleaned and re-lubed it. Initially it didn't make much difference (took it on a 2 mile sprint to 'work in' the lube) - but all nice now. Rear derailleur gear cable might need replacing and I'm going to have to replace my broken bar-end so I can use it to haul on more, but I cleaned up and re-lubed the full bike, which was nice - nice therapy too

Barely any wind across the lake was nice, that changed heading north, but wasn't so bad - felt nice just to ride again.

I've been doing a lot of reading and making more of an effort toward spinning rather than pounding it out (especially as restarting my riding recently I've started getting a bit of knee pain) and a few other things, like not tear-arsing about everywhere and save some sprint energy.

Beautiful ride in this morning. Low 50's, light around 6:30am and some headwind. Ok, a lot of headwind. But it was comfortable enough that I only had to wear shorts and a jersey. Funny though. Almost every commuter I saw, except for one, had jackets, long pants/spandex on. Heck, one guy even had a balaclava! I keep wondering if there is something wrong with me or them? It must be me.

Nice ride. Low 50s, sunny, sprinkly. Took extra 9 miles, as yesterday. Tomorrow will be tight so take a little extra riding today.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow, forecast says winds 10-20mph, few to no gusts. Metro'd in again today... makes it almost a full week. I'm just glad that this thing is almost past.

Nice commute today, its starting to get back to Florida temp again.

Oh yea, and I bought a old Aerowind roadie on the way home

windy, wet and wild. Much congrats to the marathon runners who ran in this weather yesterday. Didn't have much zip today on the way in or on the way back home. Interesting to watch the waves running in the opposite direction to their usual flow on the Charles River.

One of those days where I'm just glad I rode at all.

Fast. It was raining like crazy, but stupid me figured "oh, my commute's so short I don't need no rain pants."

Big mistake. So now I'm cranky and embarrassed in soaking jeans.

Chilly! The low temp was 46F, but for some reason it seemd much colder than that. Who knows. The ride in was good though, getting light early enough now that I can shut the headlights off at ~ 6:30.

Tailwind for the ride home!!

Wet! 40 degrees, light wind, and lots of rain. I opted to bring the roadie into work to see how it faired in the rain. For future reference, if it's raining, take the bloody commuter. The lack of fenders made a mess

Great ride in today- nice to have the wind dropping to "good exercise" speed, rather than the recent high winds w/ potential dangerous gusts.
