Findings:<\/p>\n<p>1. It wasn&#8217;t too cold at all. Long-sleeved t-shirt and shorts were adequate.<br \/>\n2. It wasn&#8217;t too dark either. It was getting a bit dark by the end of my half hour ride, but I&#8217;m cool with that.<br \/>\n3. The track through the woods wasn&#8217;t too wet (though obviously today&#8217;s rain will have seen to that).<br \/>\n4. Bike is in fine condition. One of my front lights might need new batteries, but I have no shortage of front lights, nor do I have a shortage of spare batteries.<br \/>\n5. I am not in terribly good condition, endurance-wise, but hopefully a few weeks will sort that out.<br \/>\n6. Ow my arse hurts. Another thing that you get used to.<br \/>\n7. My new gloves are awesome.<\/p>\n<p>I would have cycled to work today, but I was put off by the gale force winds and heavy rain, which you may have noticed.<\/p>\n<p>So, looks like there&#8217;ll be no cycling to work this week. Maybe next week.
