Later

I had all intentions of riding to work today, making it three days in a row of bicycle commuting. Good intentions, but this morning my body insisted on a quieter exercise day. Today, that means a ride after work instead of two rides (to work in the early morning, home in the late afternoon).

Knowing that this month marks the end of my bicycle commuting days for the year, I guess I've been pushing myself a bit. The daylight is visibly shrinking, so I know my comfort level with riding to work is coming to an end. Yes, I know there are people who commute year-round on their bikes. And I know there are good lights available. But I also know that the drivers around here are crazy enough in the daylight!

I'll get a ride in late this afternoon after work. And tomorrow should be a good decent distance day. Sunday? Right now the weather forecast calls for an 80% chance of heavy rain, so I suspect that may be a rest day. Still, that should give me 5 days of riding for the week with a decent mileage total.
