Colder this morning than I expected. Warmer this evening. Only one more commuting day until the holidays. We're going to Colorado for a visit. I haven't had more than 3 days off in a row (except for leg surgeries) in a long time. I'm excited! I'll miss my bikes. With 3 almost grown kids and a big dog, we'll have to take the van, which doesn't currently have bike-carrying capabilities. Oh well.
Happy Holidays!

Sleet. Glare ice. I guess I'll catch a ride with DH today.

Last commute of the year for me. Since there is still packed snow and ice on the bikepath that I normally use, I decided to commute through Washington, DC this week. It is an intense, invigorating and somewhat stressful ride. Metro buses, crazy taxi drivers, jaywalking pedestrians, noise, etc. but I would rather be out there on my bike than in a car or on the metro.
Happy holidays, everyone!Specialized Amira Expert WSD, Ruby Expert

On the afternoon commute home, I got blown over 2 lanes of traffic and into the median.
Wow...those gusts were intense.
We will definitely get together for a ride!

Lovin' my new short commute (now 5 miles one way versus use to be 15 miles one way)!
Raining in portland, OR this week. Rained all day, fortunately not too cold. This was actually my first official commute ride to work and I tested just wearing my work clothes, except for shoes, under my rain gear. Love it!
No having to change clothes once at work was so nice.
Lights worked great, rain gear was just right. The clean up, while a PITA, is not too bad and I would rather do that than sit in traffic way longer than is necessary during rush hour.
Certainly seem to see a lot less riders out there in this rain.

2 for 2 so far this week, should hit my 3 for 3 target.
A little damp this morning, and a bit cooler. Fortunately totally missed the big showers, wind and snow/rain mix that occured early afternoon.
Did get in a couple extra miles because I biked up to my doctor appointment this afternoon. Argh, my weight went up again,
The ride home was dry, so my rain gear left me a bit overheated. Gonna have to work on the ideal layering so I stay warm, but don't sweat creating a moving sauna.
Definitely seems to be a lot fewer bike commuters or my work schedule is totally off from their work schedules.
