Isn't Minnesota having a heat wave right now? Looks like it's just 30 degrees there. I can't complain, it's only down to 9 degrees tonight. It hasn't been below zero in a couple of days. Now, the 60-mph winds are another thing...

But the snow is entirely too deep this year for any cycling, even with studs and flat pedals. It just keeps coming and coming. This could be the snowiest January on recent record. (A good winter to have the DH in the snow removal biz, yes indeedy. He might even pay for his equipment investment.)

The Calientoes are much more useful for cycling once the snow melts but it's still 20 degrees in the mornings. I do envy those of you who have any visible pavement. (New tactic: watching movies on laptop while spinning on trainer) I've never tried booties; they look pretty cumbersome.

And I echo the good karma thing! Wonderful gesture to give those away, and I hope they are well used and loved.
