Got a decent-ish time, for me. Just about 6:05 for the century, with about 5.5k of climbing.

26 miles, 26 windy miles. I swear this year and summer has been windier than usual. I'm tired of fighting the wind.

Made yesterday my no ride day for the week, and today I'm getting rained out. Doesn't look that good for tomorrow, either.

Chilly enough here this AM to wear a windbreaker on the way to work.
Almost too warm in the PM for tights.
22 miles total commuting.

Normally I get to work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but this week I had to go into the office on Tuesday. So I've ridden my commute, a 27 mile round trip (plus two train rides and driving to/from the train station), every day this week. It's been cool and lovely.
I got to thinking on the bike yesterday about what one smells during the course of a ride. I can tell which cars are tuned and which are not, whose brakes are overheating, which vehicles are diesels, which lawns were recently mowed, which drivers are smoking cigars, and sometimes how long ago that poor chipmunk was turned into a flatmunk by a vehicle tire. It's a whole world of experience one never sees, or rather smells, when covering the same roads in a car.

Thought it was going to be a sunny day today, according to the weatherman. No such luck! Rained out at 26 miles.

Wife and I went to the MUP this morning for a ride in cool, overcast, low 70's temp. Got in 36 miles and the wife got in 20. A very productive ride for the missus.

Did my commute again today. That makes about 110 miles commuting this week. All on the '87 Bianchi Brava.
This time of year parts of Rhode Island are bucolic and absolutely beautiful.
