Wet this morning. 70F/21C and sticky. Thunder storms are popping up all over. We had some over night and they're still rolling through. I put on the rain gear and hoped for the best. About 2 blocks from work, the skies opened.

The good news is: My new Bontrager Stormshell jacket worked great. The side vents made it not-as-sauna-like as a simple plastic shell, too.

I passed a large turtle in the road during my bike commute to work this morning. I turned around to go get it off the road, which had curbs too high for it to climb over. By the time I got back to the turtle, some jerk had already run over it in his car. Some people are such idiots. That turtle might have been 50 years old, for all I know as it was very large.

45F and sunny, nice.

It was 68F and cloudy when I woke up. It was 66F and storming when I rode to work. We had flash flooding. A local viaduct was closed due to high water, I went around the cop car blocking the road and tried to ride through. I stopped just before the water was hub-deep and turned around. I was carrying a laptop and didn't want to drown it. The cop laughed at me when I came back by him.

I was prepared. I had dry clothes and a towel wrapped in plastic. Now if only my cycling clothes will dry before I have to put them back on....

I hate putting on wet clothes.

It was about 85F with a max of 90F. The wind and random light rain felt really good together. Some ass cut me off this morning right before a left turn then drives slow.

Dang it was hot coming home today! About 90F (32C), which is about right for late July here in Washington, DC -- except it's late May! Oh well, some storms rolling, so maybe we'll get some weather that's less hot and humid. Or maybe not.

Mid 60's and little wind, but traffic was a little bit packed.

A robust storm came through last night and cooled everything off, then it continued light rain for a few hours more. A cloudy morning ride at 70f (21c). I was coming down a hill at a good clip, and in the middle I have to make a right turn, so while in that cockeyed position going around the corner, I saw a large deer dart to the side. I pulled up and looked for more, but didn't see any. That would have been a very bad position to be in, if the deer had come closer.

the temp was 55f so it was warm enough to go with out a jacket, but very foggy this am. A very nice ride though and the smell of beach roses permeated the air some of the time, that is such a nice smell.

66F/19C & slightly humid, with no wind. No rain today. A dead, squished creature was in the middle of the road, getting pecked by a crow. Nom nom nom.

I lucked out yesterday. Big storm system roiled up the region but left the Burlington area largely untouched. I got sprinkled on a little bit riding home. I expected to get inundated.

Still, warm morning. I'm still not used to the light out. Yesterday I had a strong crosswind / headwind coming home.

Thunderstorms last night. This morning; humid, upper 60s with lots of fog.

Woke up this morning and nearly went back to sleep... I could hear the wind left over from the thunderstorms and when I opened the garage door there was some lightning still around. So I thought this would be a good time to put on the pannier covers.

Not more than 10 minutes out the door, a pickup went past so close I could feel the wing mirror and exhaust. I shouted at the guy, more out of fear and surprise than anything else, who then swerved in front of me and skidded, trying to get me to hit him. He did that twice more before I managed to get out of his way and call the police. I couldn't believe it. Never had this before. I got his plate number and called the police again when I got to work. They had no record of me calling this morning, so I gave the information again.

All drivers information for Texas is on publicdata.com also, so that's handy, I can drop some educational material about sharing the road and aggressive driving in his mail box.

After I got over that, it was a nice commute, no rain, puddles had cleared up, lightning died down, wind was out of the east and not south. Nice change.

I do plan on getting a video camera now though.

Drove today since Tropical Storm Beryl is crossing NC. I am not so dedicated that I will ride in pouring rain with high winds. My legs needed a break anyway so I'm taking a much-needed rest day.

Really nice. I was able to leave before 7 so as to get in a few extra miles. I took one of my standard 20-mile detours. Just a wonderful way to start the day.

I'm off this week due to railroad improvements on my route. I'll try Friday... said finish is tomorrow.

Very nice ride home. Beautiful day.

Nothing eventful today except I decided to take slightly longer route home with an added small hill. I really need to get used to hills.

A very nice morning at 66f (19C). No wind, so the speeds were very good. My seat post did come loose on a hill, and that is a wierd sensation, but easy to remedy and back upthe hill.

Bonked on the ride home yesterday. Busing it today, and starting to pay attention to nutrition again.

A very nice ride in this am, the temp is warm, no jacket needed. If the ride home is just as nice I may skip the big hill at the end and ride around it, which adds distance to my route, I need to build up my distance riding.

Great ride this morning after a day off, with mild temperatures, low humidity and no headwinds for a change. Had my second-fastest morning commute time yet, so everything was going right. Unfortunately I will probably have to drive tomorrow as the forecasts are calling for severe thunderstorms all afternoon and into the evening.

Light Rain all the way...47 degrees with an East wind that helped me alittle. Another great day for a bike commute!

My legs were wore out today. I drove. It would have been a nice morning to ride, but...
