Morning commute - fall is here

Morning commute - c-c-c-cold

4 degrees :7

Morning commute - sun spot

Morning commute - a bit brighter

The temp was only 5C but it didn't feel that cold, thanks to a weak sun coming up.

Coffee with the candidate

Having coffee with Julia Ringma who is running for City Council and is an avid cyclist. If you're in Ward 8 - College, check out her blog, send her your questions, be blown away with the answers and then go vote for her in the municipal election on October 25th. And tell all your friends to do the same!

Morning commute - where'd you come from?

7 degrees out there. Nuff said.

Morning commute - slow dawn

11C degrees, slight SW wind, pretty dark but clearing and brightening. I think here are some sunny mornings left in this commuting season, before it's lights on and darkness all the way in.

Morning commute - heading south

Wouldn't mind going with them. :)

Morning commute - rainy day feeling

Driving mist in steady wind, actually, and 12C on the thermometer. You couldn't see water hitting the puddles but it was wet, wet, wet.

Last night I was reading some posts on The Path Less Pedaled. When Russ' rain jacket wore out he switched to a Marmot DriClime Windshirt, a garmet that I own too. It has a thin fleece on the inside and a wind shell on the outside, and is supposed to protect you in a light rain while providing a bit of warmth. But if I was on an around the world bike tour I think I'd want a real rain jacket. I was surprised he thought it was good enough.

On the other hand, I've never worn it in the rain, so I thought I'd try it this morning. It worked great against the rain and I was dry on the inside. It does wear warm, though, and since it doesn't have any pit zips, you can overheat if you're really working out.

Near symmetry, less 1/2

Morning commute - quick peek

It rained for most of the ride in but then, just for a moment, the sun came out as I was crossing the canal. I dug the camera out of the pack and fire off a hurried shot. It went off at about 1/80s, so it's a bit fuzzy. As I waited for the image to be written to the card and recomposed for the next pic, the sun went away and didn't come back. Sometimes you only get one shot at things in life.

Bridgehead baked goods

Just the coffee, thanks. The bike tour is over. :7

A day off, but the weather isn't good

It's says it's 18C out there but it feels colder. It's windy and now it's raining off and on. A good day to clean the bike.

Leftovers from the week

Morning commute - the far side

Morning commute - feel the heat

Except for cropping, this pic is right out of the camera. No manipulation, colour or hue shifts. It's gonna be a hot one.
