Consecutive bicycle work commute number 827:
35F with a 25+ mph head wind. I arrived at work safe, but cold.
I originally was scheduled to go to our company office (8 miles) for the morning, attend a meeting over lunch, then ride downtown to a client location for the afternoon. With that head wind I threw in the towel and rode right to the client's location. I'll attend the lunch meeting remotely. Kind of nice that I have some flexibility where I can modify my schedule at times to suit my mood and weather.
Tons of leaves on the MUP. Very pretty, but there are spots where they're so thick you can't see where the pavement is. Thankfully I've ridden it so many times that I know all the turns and curves so I haven't ridden off the lip and into the grass yet this season.
