Congrats! It's funny because it's quite cold here and I was like, wow, what a day for a first commute!
Despite the cold here (13 F) I heard a cardinal singing his spring song on the ride in! So not everyone is cold

it was/is 46 degrees. Rain is forecast, but it sure doesn't look like it!
Sorry it's so cold over there.

Ha! I had the same reaction.
I haven't commuted once this week, after commuting three times last week.
Lazy + too cold!
I can do five more miles.

After last week's incredible weather (six inches of snow, then completely impenetrable fog when 50 degree air wafted over the snow, then foot-deep flooding ponds when the rains melted all that snow, then winds and single-digit temps... all in the same week...) this 11 degrees in the a.m. is pretty dull!! Nice cruise in... hoping to get the Gazellephant down to the shop so they can work on the light (it's a generator light and a wire's broken somewhere), and it's nice enough so I can ride the Trek home (which lives there for the training rides in the winter), unless of course the Dahon has arrived and been assembled.
How can people stand having an off season?

It is still way to cold and crap-tas-tic here in Michigan Center, MI for me to commute to work. I want to so badly to get on that bike and go!
My hubby however, is a different story all together and he rides in anything! He wants to learn all the different words the Eskomos have for snow. I think he freezer burnt his brains a few years back and that's how he does it!

It/he was totally awesome!
Still recovering from a cold so I kinda upset my lungs with our little outing. I'm giving the lungs a few more days but Friday I'm hoping for a triumphant return to commuting. bikerHen
