Some odd things to note from yesterday’s commute. At 42° it’s a little cold. At 92% humidity it’s very damp. Thus, dressing for the ride in was impossible to get right. I had light socks with shoes, no covers over my toes. Shorts with tights. A long sleeve cotton T-shirt and a bike jacket. Under my helmet was a bandanna. My face, ears and toes were quite cold, but my head and body were hot and sweaty! It was weird.

Not as weird, maybe as coming around a corner at E. Lanvale and heading south on N. Montford just as some guy was throwing his kitty litter into the air and street. It didn’t create much dust, but I did ride though something. I made sure to hold my breath. I knew the guy didn’t see me and he was so apologetic. You could really hear in his tone his disappointment. It was just bad timing and my willingness to keep moving.

It is a rare thing for me to ride when it’s dark on the ride home. I do not like that part. With record temperatures forecast yesterday I figure the slow ride needed to navigate the night won’t be so objectionable.  I did fairly well and got home in 55 minutes instead of the regular 40 it takes to get to work in daylight. It was great!
