Yesterday I had planned (but not very well) to ride my bike to my dentist appointment downtown. But I haven't yet taken my winter clothes down from the attic, and without my PI Lobster Gloves, my hands would have been frozen--it was a brisk 40F. So I drove--and got a parking ticket !!

So today's the day to unpack the winter things and get ready to ride! After an extremely lackluster October for very little riding, I've lined up great weekend rides for November, and have rededicated myself to riding for errands during the week. Oh and spinning classes, too. Next week I have to go back to the dentist to get a cavity filled (how I got it, I don't know since I eat very little sugar), so I'll take my bike and avoid another parking ticket. Plus, it's on Election Day, and there will be extra traffic and no parking because my dentist is right near City Hall and that's a big polling place.

Yeah for invigorating winter (such as it is down here)!
