Finally some cooler weather!!! Great commute today, ride home was in the mid 50s and tailwinds most of the way, no complaints here.


P.s. jdmitch-sorry to hear about your job man, good luck with your search for a new one, I've got fingers crossed you find one that's commutable.

Sorry to hear about the job. I was laid off in June and just started working last week. I was lucky enough to find a job within commuting distance (5½ miles).

Good luck to you.

First time it rained to & from work since I don't know when. Usual 20 mph wind here on the cape, gusts to 40+ were a nice touch. Toes got damp but not really wet.

At work went out in the company car. Someone left the driver side window open about 1/4". Got wetter driving that than to & from work on the bike.

No commute, rode for the sheer enjoyment of riding.

Easy ride in, but a tad chilly at 32 F (0 C). Today, they are prediciting the 60s F ( upper teens C)
this afternoon, so it should be a nice ride home in the sun. These are days when I carry chilly gear
and warm weather gear, and I always forget something. On Friday, 16 Oct this area set a record for
the coldest Oct 16 in a 138 years of record keeping, but no one had to tell me that.

Yup, just like fletchh. 32 degrees when I got on the bike at 5am. Frost on the ground!

Got to see one of the Arlington Mobile Commuter Store RV's wallop a Honda Civic, that made for some entertainment!

Hate to rub it in, but a beautiful 72 at 5:00 this morning. Although, it's going to be low 90's on the way home this afternoon.

Eggs Florentine. Two poached eggs,ham,spinach and hollandais sauce on two english
muffins. Watched the sun come up from a diner on the way in.

i love to rub it in! lol today was a beutifull day with 82 F temp, like all Puertorrican mornings! lol

you guys are my heros!

went out of the house with my new Marathon plus tires, and desided to ride the entire way to work, no boat ride for me today.

today i noticed how most drivers are pretty stressed, punching the accel from red light to next red light, guess many of them were pissed at the biker that passes them every time they stop lol!

went thru 2 parks, and the birds were singing, with a light breeze hitting my face....had to do more effort going against the wind, hopefully running against the wind will train me better.

I used to take a ferry thru the harbor. Changed work locations tho.
The ferry ride was a lot of fun!

First frosty morning of the year! It was a wonderful 31 degrees F when I left for work at 6:25 this morning, had to break out the wool socks...nice ride in, I think I saw maybe 4 or 5 cars total.

Ride home was nice, 45 F and not a cloud in the sky

50sF, gray.

Passed a dead possum in the bike lane, and started to realize he'd only get more stuck in place as fall progresses into winter, so I went back and threw him into a ditch.

First ride in almost 10 days due to some out of town travel and work-related courses.
55 degrees F, and dark, with awesome thunderstorms (great light show on the way in). Crossed thru a few brief downpours of cold rain but most of the ride was light drizzle.
I saw 2 other bike commuters instead of the usual 8-10 in summertime.

Looks like more thunder and lighting for the ride home in advance of a cold front (though not as cold as a couple of weeks ago).

I'm heading in early (pre-dawn) all week b/c I have a friend in town, and I want to maximize my time with him.

Had great ride with the road all to my self. Thoroughly enjoyed watching my new PB Blaze Superflash mode reflect off of signs 2000ft away. Nice.

jpdesjar

Good ride this morning, the streets were wet from the night rain and large snowflakes.
I rode the 8 mile route this morning.

echotraveler

that SO COOL! when one works to maximize time with someone! this are "the" times when every second counts!

cheers!

Warmer this morning, 45F. I went with just shorts, no tights and was OK.

Fine, no rain.

sewil

nice ride in. almost no headwind. pretty good tailwind coming home (30km/hr according to the weather network). took advantage of it and opted for the long way home around the bay.

suffered last week with the unseasonably cold temps. soothed myself over the w/end with a little retail therapy. bought winter cycling shoes, lobster gloves and a neoprene face mask. not cheap. maybe i guaranteed us a warm winter....

Doohickie

I decided that it's getting pretty dark in the morning.... time for some more light.

zoodude

ugg, cold is coming but on the bright side it was a beautiful sun shinning through that felt great on my backside. nothing like silence and those first morning rays. heavy winds coming back, gonna sleep good tonight!

Nice ride today. Cool Fall morning felt great. Started raining just as I was pulling up to the office and it cleared out for the afternoon journey home.
