I went out for an hour in the cold, windy rain.
A very big thumbs up for my Castelli rain jacket, Joneswear thick wool tights, and my trusty Pokey with fenders. I stayed warm and reasonably dry.
(Meanwhile, Lee stayed home watching a Harry Potter movie we had recorded)

I rode!!!! I did about 24 miles. It was pretty nice out. I was alone and hadn't ridden for a few days, so I took it easy.
I was going to do my big hills, but when I got to the street where I turn to go down (which you gotta do before you can climb back up
), I had to get off my bike to cross a sheet of ice. I decided not to find out what a steep ice covered downhill fall feels like. Even though it was above freezing, the hills are steep, so the ice melts to a certain point, a puddle forms, then freezes again where the "sun don't shine". Glad I didn't learn this the hard way!
Tomorrow we're in for a treat--it's going to be around 50º! It hasn't been that warm in weeks! Of course, winds will be 20-30mph, but I'm not complaining.

Wait...isn't today the 14th?
It was sunny and 80 degrees here today. Went for a very pleasant ride after not having ridden for two weeks. Tried out some new shorts I got on sale for $10 a few weeks ago -- Trek WSD Club Shorts. They were okay, but not nearly as comfy as my Mt. Borah underliners. But for 10 bucks, I can't complain.

Too many scary ice patches around here to even think about riding.
