I've been able to ride 4 of the 5 days of the new year! I would have been 5 for 5 but we went snowshoeing on New Years Day. WOW! What a difference a year makes. This time last year we were dealing with 4+ feet of snow. This year, rain, and like this mornings commute slushy snow with lots of BIG puddles to ride through!Like everyone else I'm just loving my winter commuting.

It was about 50F when I headed to campus this morning, 65F or so on my way back this afternoon. Perhaps it seems cruel to post this when so many are posting about snow and ice, but I'll pay for it when it's 100F in August, thankyouverymuch.
Oh, Arizona.
Anyway, the main reason I wanted to post was that today was my first time going for a ride with PowerGrips on my pedals! I've never used toe clips or clipless or anything before. I still have to look down occasionally to get my feet in, but I think that's a mental block more than anything. There are a few stop signs and lights on my commute, but I didn't find the "clipping" in and out to be burdensome (though the straps probably should be a little tighter than they are right now--I'll play around with that). So far I think I really like them!
