Nothing like a surprise sunshiney, 65 degree road ride to fix your attitude problem. I snuck out at lunch yesterday in a foul, angry mood and ready to take it out on some unsuspecting pavement. Three miles into the ride i had to stop and take my jacket off. Another couple of miles and I was having trouble focusing on why I was so pissed off, it was that nice outside. Of course once I returned to my office the sky got black and it started raining again.

Commuted into the office this morning with the Route 100 Commuter Club, all two of us. Took the backroad from the Village and I had my geared cross bike. Opted for the tires with a little bit of knob and 55psi for the dirt road descents as opposed to no knob and 90 psi on the road bike. All that was a good choice, however the gearing is a lot stiffer and I realized that I got soft over the past month. Welcome to Softober!

Steel gray sky today, hoping the rain holds off until after my ride back to the village. Looking forward to this weekend, it has potential to be a nice change of pace.
