Started out at 58˚F this morning (!!!!) as a cold front came through Sunday. Never thought we would see anything other than the 110˚ heat we've been having all summer in Texas. I rode to work and back, because even though we are closed, I have still have patients to keep an eye on. By the time I got home around 9, it was only 64˚, so I went ahead and donned up for a nice ride on my road bike. I just bought some Castelli knickers in anticipation of my trip to Wisconsin in a month (hopefully it isn't snowing so my brother and I can ride) and I tried them out this morning. Verdict: they're awesome. It was a blustering 20mph steady wind today with gusts in the 30s but I managed to do a 22.48 mile loop with about 3/4 of the time spent in a crosswind or headwind in about an hour and twenty minutes. Usually the wind makes me SO cranky, but today was so beautiful and so cool outside I couldn't help but smile. At each leg of the journey I just said to myself, "You're almost there, Em!"

Wonderful day. I hope this weather keeps up. Sure makes riding to work a whole lot more pleasant!
