Consecutive bicycle work commute number 1146:

We've had a few days of reprieve from the winter weather. This morning the temp was 46°F. I wore a sweatshirt instead of a jacket. First time I haven't worn a jacket in the morning since probably early October. The temp is supposed to get into the 60s, so I brought shorts for the noon ride across town and home later this evening. I'm probably going to feel like a wild man.

There was a pretty good head wind on the way to the office this morning. With the nice weather and nearly all of the ice gone I took the road bike. It's amazing how much better that bike slices through the wind. I could hold 12-13 mph without a ton of effort, whereas on my winter bikes into the same wind I would be struggling to maintain about 8 mph.

Tomorrow winter is supposed to return, so I'm going to thoroughly enjoy today.

I posted my latest commuting video. It's been a while since the last one, as most of my winter riding was done in the dark and the camera doesn't pick up the sights as well.
