2 for 3 this week – this morning’s -2F plus an early evening commitment led me to temporarily throw in the towel today. I’m just under my overall goal for the season, so I’ve really want to hit 100% at least once in the next two weeks!

Yesterday though – WOW. Set a new personal record with a 9F temperature and falling snow both coming and going. The morning was sweet – light snow, with the giant moon shining through the clouds.

The evening, though, was a standout! Turns out my headlight battery either didn’t charge correctly or was negatively affected by 2.5 hrs riding on the front of a bus on a frigid day, so I turned it off on the bike path sections to save it for the streets. As I was riding along the creek and through the park, all my senses were heightened, soft green neon of my Spokelits reflecting off the fresh and falling snow, just feeling happy and gradually warming up…saw a mini-ninja as I approached the trail bridge, so I stopped short and waited…a gorgeous red fox ran no more than 5 feet from me, slowed to check me out, and was off. AMAZING.

A kitchen trainer commute though…that’s funny.
