A chilled out commute from me in barmy temperatures for this time of year. 21deg down to 17deg.

Slightly nippy this morning - fingers were a little cold in mits. Pleasant morning, no school idiots. Quick ride in, would have been a bit quicker if I hadn't waited behind another cyclist on the bridleway near home, held me up a bit - he was on a thin tyred singlespeed, me a MTB with mixed terrain tyres.

Not me! I'm sticking to the roads, not even using the Loop. I do like the SS it's fun, but I'm ready for my new gravel bike now... at the end of the month.
Not as cold as expected, but full thin gloves seemed sensible.
Pretty much to total opposite to yesterday.
Out on time; the skies clear and bright while the temperatures was significantly lower - yesterday's forecast suggesting 7 degrees meaning I was pretty chilly in the mid-weight trousers and LS base layer. Would certainly have welcomed some lightweight gloves to have kept the chill off the hands.
Had one sketchy moment having to negotiate my way around (behind) a surprise old woman attempting to cross the road on St. Aldates; retrospectively feel bad now for not stopping to help her across as it can be a swine of a road.
Stopped for a little trimming on the tow path in the somewhat ethereal light provided by the low sun reflecting off the water through the last vestiges of the morning's mist.
While conditions remain pleasantly manageable the trend is all to apparent and I'm not looking forward to the clocks changing

Bit chilly but manageable this morning - wore a skull cap under the helmet, it covers my ears and kept the chill off, glad I did.
Reported a dead badger to the council when I got to work.
Wouldn't have bothered if it were by the side of the road out in the sticks, but this was in the middle of a busy road outside a school with its guts hanging out. Hopefully it's gone by the time I ride home.

You were cutting back the hedges next to the canal? Very public-spirited if you were.
