Taking 2 hours to regain normal temperature in that area

That narrowly avoided the morning 4 recovery miles having another 4 tempo miles added

It keeps stuff dry and away from other stuff. I also take a small breakfast in with me to have later. Shoes in at the begining of the week (when I cycle in) end of the week I take them home, I just need to remember what colour shoes I have at work. It's annoying but because my office is up four flights of stairs and I have no locker in the shower room so it's easy to have my towel in my bag rather than leaving it a work.
