I'm glad I rode early in the morning yesterday, before the wind set in. Rode this morning and got a taste of what you encountered yesterday pm. I'm glad you made it home safely--the crosswinds are what get you! Did you commute by bike today because those winds were fierce in Herndon when I left work and headed back to civilization. LOL

I'm praying that the snow bypasses us or dies out when it goes over the mountains. The thought of Spinervals, even though I'd be going nowhere on the trainer in my toasty warm sunroom, does NOT appeal to me.

Mild winter, please!!! Now that I have my Kona Lisa DS and want to do off-road riding on the weekends, I'm especially hopeful for no snow. The cold, while I don't dig it, is bearable. I just won't go out in snow/ice. It's the outdoor riding deal breaker.
