Fun rides today. I had a bogey on my six for almost the entire way in, and he finally managed to overtake me at the 15 km mark. We both laughed - nothing like a little commuter race to start your day.

Today was my first time riding in the rain... and in hail . T-Storms rolled in this afternoon. It started getting really windy, then light rain, then heavy rain down a big hill, then pea-sized hail up the other side of that valley. But I emerged at the top of that hill victorious feeling a little like Lt. Dan vs the sea storm in Forrest Gump.

I didn't realize how much water gets thrown up and in front of you (which you then ride through) from the upper half of the tire on a bike. I expected more of a splashing from the lower half of the tire.

And no, I have no intention of getting fenders. We don't get much of the wet stuff here...

Saturday commute which will morph into Saturday mini-tour. I have a couple hours of work to do and then heading out to the country to pick up my car. The shame is I had a pretty good headwind coming in (south) which I won't get to ride back home since from here I'm heading west and farther south. Oh well...

Steamy Monday ride in: High humidity, 74F/23C. Had the Ortlieb filled to the max with provisions for the week at work. No wonder my rear tire is almost totally without a rounded shape, its just squared off!

It was a nice ride in this morning. I didn't bust my asprin in my new clipless shoes and pedals so I guess thats a good start. I also made my best time ever this morning.

65F and some leftover fog. Eerily still, as in no wind - don't remember a morning without wind since mid winter

Sunny morning. big crosswind.

super hot - summer has finally arrived!

Bike's in the shop... Won't be ready until Wednesday.

Severe Thunderstorms kept me from riding home. Oh well, I will try it again tomorrow.

Salmon are spawning everywhere... must be summer.

Nice coold 70 degrees and overcast on the way in. The rain is coming though so I hope I get to ride this afternoon.

a nice ride in today with partly cloudy skies and the temp at 58f. I have not been able to ride in since last Thursday due to weather forecasts. They are predicting chance of rain this afternoon. I am willing to take my chances on the way home.

For us here in DC it's tourist spawning season.

Another steamy ride in.

Cool 9°celcius, cloudy morning. Car drivers were buzzing very close this morning, I have one close pass once in a while like anybody else but this morning only I've been pass very close, within a feet, 6 times.

Just curious, is there's a bike lane on the other side of the road, too?

Got sunnier as I go. Had a bus pass me and immediately pull into a stop in front of me though. Just a bit upset about that and going to let the transit authority sort that out.

Rainy but like I told a couple of people who asked today, it doesn't really matter on a warm morning like this with lockers and a shower at work. Unless you try to keep dry which is frustrating, but I'm happy to just let it go and get wet.

once again a very hot summer day. still better than freezing :-)

Yep!

Nice and fast. Great morning

The weather was really nice for this time of year, but the most amazing thing is the second bike commuter I saw today! I've seen other bike commuters on my last 2 rides, and have only seen a handful in the 5 - 6 years I've been bike commuting. I like this trend!

A little cool, 65F but still beautiful. Mr. Headwind is back as are the summer only riders who as a group (and I'm not generalizing) seem to be riding high tech road bikes and going very fast. I know that because they pass me... every day... it's a little demoralizing

Spectacular. Sunny, ~55 degrees, a little headwind but I need the extra exercise anyway.

3 people passed me but I passed 3 others so I'll call it even.

Don't be too hard on yourself.
