This morning I commuted to work with Joel Auston.

Biked to work this morning and got there in less than 40 minutes. Said a big thank you to the tail wind.

The commute home was strait into the wind, then biked with friends (another 20 miles).

What a beautiful week to bike to work! I started the week off Monday morning with a great ride into work and then a warm and sunny bike ride home from work.  Shedding my balaclava and tights on the bike ride home and letting the sun kiss my snow white legs (I know, not a pretty picture) felt great!

Tuesday I commuted with a friend as there was heavy fog in the morning, so no bicycling. By afternoon the fog had cleared up and it was bright, warm and sunny.  I felt terrible not biking home.

Wednesday started out with fog, but this time I asked my friend if I could take the bike with.  He agreed, and when the work day was done there I was, biking to Platteville.  I was headed that way to pick up our car that had some work done on it.  What a ride! Warm, sunny and I was on a Trek 770 (an old Reynolds frame with the Superbe Pro groupo) which made me think of cycling in the old days when I was young, had time, and was in far better shape.

Today, I rode to work on the old Trek 770 without booties over my shoes.  It was cold on my feet, but the ride home will be great I am sure.

So far, 67 miles for the week. To all those reading this, get out and enjoy the nice weather! There should be snow on Saturday.

Last Friday and again today, I have biked to work.  No fog, ice, snow, or freezing rain! It is a great time to bike!  Sounds like this is more of a weather report than a bicycling post, but when a cyclist has good weather they feel renewed in the cycling spirit. The sky this morning is clear and the sun came up as I was leaving Lancaster.

Friday was overcast but very warm!  For the first time this year, I wore only two layers on my chest, a jersey and a Thermal Shell (both from Momentum). My arms were a little cool, but not bad!  I also wore my old gloves.  They are thin with holes in the first couple fingers.  The “winter” glove I bought this year are warm on a sub-zero day, but too warm when the temps get into the teens and twenties.

The ride home was warm! My feet were sweaty in my booties, and when I would climb a hill my sunglasses would fog up.

Today I rode without the booties and again with only two layers (jersey and thermal shell) on my chest.  Still have the tights on though!
