It felt luxurious today. I went out to explore the Chesapeake-Ohio canal path, but once in Maryland, there were long patches of ice and slush, so I got some unintended cross practice. I made it just past Bethesda, where I rode on ice/slush/mud for more than 1/2 a mile. I turned around and cut my ride shorter than I wanted. On the way back, I stopped in a shop in Georgetown to get my drive train and wheels a little cleaner. Everything was caked in mud and I currently don't have supplies or a place to clean the bike.

I will have another go tomorrow. I would not dream of a warm break like this in Chicago.
