This week I had trouble with motivation. Partway through my Wednesday morning ride, my down low glow stopped glowing, so now I'm down to just a front and rear light -- both plenty bright enough to be safe, but I do feel much more visible with bright blue light emanating from my down tube.

Mon - 2/2
Tues - 1/2 (45 and rainy, and I had to go, not home, but to our church group [which I was leading] and sit around for hours. Recipe for being freezing? You bet. So I skipped it.)
Weds - 2/2
Thurs - 2/2
Fri - 2/2

We also had some pretty good windy days, which meant my route took much longer than usual. And I've been thinking about winter in New England, and how much I don't want to ride on ice or in snow, but it looks like I'll be doing that anyway. Oh well. I do have studded tires, but somehow they just don't help me feel that much more confident. It just wasn't a good week on so many levels.
