had a gorgeous commute today. The morning ride was just before sunrise, and the sky was streaked with red and gold clouds. 34 degrees which really isn't bad at all with wind pants and a jacket. Coming home it was warm and sunny with no wind.

Only down side was a little section of road work I had to get through. There were a few orange cones set out in the shoulder area, but nothing that looked like a barrier. I thought it was just to mark off the section of shoulder where they'd parked some heavy equipment. Then I hit the wet cement that had been poured to fill a 4' x 4' hole. I couldn't have dodged tp the left even if I'd seen it in time because there was quite a bit of traffic just then. I felt bad about the deep rut I left, but also glad I had enough momentum to carry me through it. I still wonder if I should have gone back and tried to fix it - but with what? Bare hands? I guess they'll sort it out tomorrow, after cussing all cyclists.
