Okay, so maybe I overdid it – but just a little bit. Starting my ride to work at the coldest part of the day (40 degrees!) inspired me to bring out my rarely-used winter wear. Because of the switch to Daylight Savings Time, I had the few extra minutes necessary to layer up an snap a quick photo before rolling out.
Riding to work on mornings like this are a little surreal. Most obviously, there’s the temperature. It was 90 degrees over the weekend, 50 degrees warmer than when I left the house this morning. Because of the temperature, I was wearing more clothes than usual, including two head pieces that covered my ears, muffling any noise I’m used to hearing. Because it’s Spring Break, there was very little traffic. It was kind of like riding to work in a cocoon. No flats, though, which is good, and no mechanical issues with my bike. And the shower is still working. Looking forward to riding home this afternoon wearing fewer clothes!
