The good news this morning was that there was enough light when I left the house to leave the blinky lights behind. The bad news was that the weather was just more of the same thing we had yesterday, minus the rain. It was knee-warmers and double jerseys today for an easy ride with three others up on the levee. When Eddie showed up we sped up a little bit, which was probably a good thing, but I don't think we ever saw anything much higher than 21 mph. The wind was blowing more from the east and wasn't quite as bad as yesterday, but regardless I was more than happy to head back to the house when we were done. I've pretty much felt cold since yesterday and this kind of weather is just plain depressing. I know it's not really all that cold, so I guess it's just something about the sudden change and the dampness. Whatever it is, it makes me want to eat hot food and hibernate. Speaking of which, The Wife has implemented her annual plan for making me fat and precipitating coronary heart disease by scattering chocolate Easter candy in strategic locations throughout the house.
For the commute to work I wore a sweater with a vest over it and never once felt like unzipping. I'm still wearing the sweater and it's almost 2 pm. At least it's better than the US Open riders had last weekend.
It's looking like we'll have some rain tomorrow, and then temperatures should return to seasonal normal, which will be about twenty degrees higher than they are right now. Looking forward to it...
