Weather Out There

Here are some of the themes from this month.

Of course, there was the inaugural entry, and a follow-up About entry.

There was a good mix of weather, although everything resembled early spring more than winter. Some of my early entries were more verbose on equipment and comfort. There was a brief glimmer of winter, with slush on a couple occasions; we had rain and wet pavement more often. I continue to struggle with keeping the face and ears warm, although readers had some suggestions. Mostly, though it was dry and in the 30s and 40s, so it was very easy weather to handle.

On the non-commuting front, I recapped my New Years overnight tour.

I also had non-clothing discussions about a variety of equipment and social matters: dealing with a loose fork, riding in traffic (always a conversation starter), choosing between panniers vs. messenger bags, keeping your pants neat and clean (and intact), singing praises  to fenders, building or purchasing dynamo lighting, and maintaining tire pressure.
