It was warm coming in at 54f (12C). This was my first morning for shorts in several months, and even though it won't be consistent for the next couple of months, it is a reason to celebrate.

A warm but very strong crosswind coming home last night and again on the way in this a.m.

Yupe! Warm and windy. This morning I decided to put a little more air in the tires than normal to take out the sluggishness. Well it did the job but my fillings are also comming loose. Going back to comfort over performance on the way back.

Getting warmer as the week progresses, but the wind just will not quit! Had a 15-20mph cross wind for most of the ride home last night, and the same cross wind this morning, but a bit less fierce. Been a couple of good days commuting to work here in South Florida. Was about 63 degrees this morning, so I didn't bother with my tights or full gloves. Did put on a light wind shell and off I went. I do ENJOY the commutes in the morning when it's cool and the traffic is light!!!! Makes for a good day at work.

I should have left home 10 minutes earlier. Left into muggy weather (and a vicious headwind), and exactly half way in I felt the first raindrop. By the time I arrived it was full-on rain, and I was full-on wet. Rain has stopped now (of course), although it may start again in the afternoon in time for my ride home.

Sigh.

Beautiful, relatively warm morning about 50F after several very chilly days. Yesterday the temperature swung about 35 degrees between my morning and afternoon commutes, which makes it difficult wearing the right combination of clothes. I opted for some warmth in the morning, so I was all sweaty by the time I got home in the afternoon.

It was pretty warm this morning, just over 50 degrees. It was very windy, though. It wasn't a full on head wind but it did make the ride more challenging. It was about 20 MPH according to weather.com. Still a pretty good commute though.

Last night the commute home was a 25-30 mph headwind and that was very challenging.

48 hrs of 40+ mph winds finally broke this morning. A bit cool, but a nice tailwind about 15mph or so. FIrst ride in weeks, after I mounted the road tires and caused three weeks of winter to reappear.

It is getting warmer..the rides are getting sweeter. The ride this morning was so sweet, I took the long way around to work.

Great morning, -8C with a tailwind. The clouds and snow were just right so that I could see for hundreds of feet on the MUP even though there are no lights on it. Still a lot of loose snow around, so I need to be careful on the rutted side streets.

Tomorrow and as far as the forecast extends the daytime highs are supposed to be well above freezing and sunny. With luck the snow will melt quickly then the roads will get dry.

I've been lazy for almost 2 months, so today, I was back on my bike. It's shocking how much harder it feels after letting the legs sit for so long. Still, it felt good to be riding again, and I'm getting excited that I should have my summer bike back out in the next month or so.

30F, blinding sun, gorgeous, another road bike day.

Nice ride home last night despite the headwind. Apparently the Fourteenth Street Bridge was closed at some point before I went across for a suspicious package or abandoned backpack, though I only gathered that from a local cycling board. I saw no signs of anything having happened by the time I crossed at six it so. I did see a jogger on the bridge with an "Ask Me About Ron Paul" tee shirt, which made me chuckle a little, given Ron Paul's position on federal funding for facilities like the one he was getting to use for a run. Had I been of wicket wit our more confrontational, I might have tried to think of something to say, but I just kept riding.

I had an aggressive driver try to muscle his way past me approaching a red light with a bike box close to home. He largely succeeded, except I just rolled past back in front of him and took up a nice place to stop and wait for the light in front of him in the crosswalk. :-) I wasn't trying to be a dou©he, but I couldn't understand why the puffiness from this particular driver, so I asserted my rights with my positioning.

Nice tailwind-assisted ride to work this morning, with a stop for a free promo breakfast item at a restaurant nineteen home and office. Free breakfast food... Yay! Quite warm too. 55+ when I left home around 8. Shirts and a shirt sleeve shirt was perfect!

Wind is really howling now, with what will be a headwind for the ride home sustained at 25 mph, gusting to 40. Yippee! :sarcasm:

Carnage in Minneapolis as a snow squall during the morning rush hour dumped just enough white stuff to cover all the ice patches refrozen from yesterday's melted snow. Apparently there were over 100 pedestrians treated for falls, and bicyclists didn't do much better. I witnessed a couple of falls myself. It's amazing how that same ice without the snow on top can be managed easily, but once hidden, it lurks, waiting for an unsuspecting cyclist to ride by. (Also, a little snow makes ice _way_ slipperier. ). It was all melted by noon.

Next week: 60 degrees! Maybe I'll take the studded tires off.

Studs off -- woo-hoo!

Dreary week, I commuted on my bike only 1 day. I guess I was just lazy! But that's not my way usually, I think next week I will be back to my normal 4 or 5 days of commuting on the Rig . . . Everyone needs a little time off occasionally? Maybe I just needed the rest.

Wind and more wind.

My legs needed a break, and the weather played right along. Cold front is moving through NC today and it was raining heavily when I got up, so I hit the snooze button, slept in, drank some nice coffee and drove to work. Still not a bad week for bike commuting, 92 miles in three days, since I got rained out on Monday as well.

Hoping to make up some mileage on Sat-Sunday as we are finally having a weekend with nice weather. We have had foul weather for about the past 6 weekends, making it hard to get in any long rides. Shooting for 60+ tomorrow.

It's a hot spring day here in Athens with temps reaching 19c (around 66f) and a gently southerly wind making my commute to work along the seaside very relaxing. Hopefully there won't be a major change this evening and my commute back will be just as fun! Unfortunately the weathers changing again and the temperature will drop once again to single digits during next week with showers and a probability of thunderstorms, thus ruining my commute.

And more wind! This is getting tiresome.

I had a horrible commute, I had to drive the CAR in today. No fenders, no water proof/resistent bag make riding in the rain not possible for now.

Brisk 22 degrees, fortunately the wind was less than the last couple of days. Certainly appreciate the warm shower when I get to work.

High 60's, low 70's on the way in, I took a new route, it was actually a half mile shorter, and with less cars, so I made it here in 25 minutes, not 35 minutes.

Where did it come from??? The new gal on KARE11 didn't mention a thing about it at 6am so I took my road bike. The white stuff started falling 3-4 miles from work, but the slicks cut through without a problem.

Today, the bike handling on cornering started getting a little squirrely eight miles into my ride. At eleven, sitting at a stop light, I squeezed the front tire. Not good. It was 17F degrees with another twelve miles to go. I didn't relish the thought of a cold fix alongside the road, so pedaled my heart out. The tire was pretty squishy toward the end, but it held out. So, the fix gets to occur in 70 degree office comfort.

30 degrees with 25-30 mph winds, I'll be really happy when this wind stops!
