Monday, however, was the worst commute ever. The temperature was around -30F with windchill in the -40s. The wind was blowing so hard and it was so cold that I got a brain-freeze headache from the outside in! Plus, the lube on my bike was not doing it's job, so it felt like I was pedaling a dump truck. And my toes and fingers froze. It was the longest 2km I have ever ridden. At least I know now not to try that again
oh man.. i'm in calgary, and i just couldn't ride last week. couldn't. my commute is 15km, and i figured i'd be dead before i made it. tho.. sure as heck i saw 3 people on the path who did their commute despite everything.

congratulations for giving it your best. i'm glad you lived to tell the tale.
