I cycled to the site in the dark, and got there at 7:00 am. Cycled in black jeans (which I do wear half of the time). Changed into a shirt and threw on black dress jacket. Changed out of my cycling shoes into low-heeled black patent leather walking shoes.

Which I normally wear.

Did joint presentation with my manager to 8 other divisional managers-supervisors.

Then when I left, I still wore my shirt but packed away dress jacket in pannier plus dress pant shoes. Cycled away to office location, sun was shining by then and no snow, no ice. Frost melted off.

But I still felt slightly idiotic...all that preparation. However at least by the end of today, I would have cycled 18 km. instead of 8 km.

Makes wonder if I had to meet with a group of more senior managers what I would do/wear...
