btw my biggest issue this morning was the cold air making my eyes tear; how do you deal with this?

Honestly, just this morning I was just thinking of this and thought: Closing my eyes works. Maybe I'll just close my eyes. But then, I thought that might not be the wisest move on a bike. I use clear eyeglasses and it helps somewhat. Some use goggles.

Hill....are they replacing the whole light, or just a mounting bracket?

The whole light needs to be replaced.

Clear & crisp riding to work. Another really nice sunrise. Glad it's getting lighter for the ride to work. Snow predicted to start at 5, so had a nice ride home in the snow. Hopin' for a powder day tomorrow, but the snow's backed off a bit, so it might just be slop in the morning.

I think it's worth reporting that there is nothing to report this morning.

I have underestimated the weather. 4 inches of fresh unplowed snow under my skinny tires on the bike path for 5 miles were brakeless (brakes were stuck by snow) but peaceful. 1 mile on slimy, slushy road sliding made brakes utterly useless.

Soaked clothes with salty water is now drying. I am dreading the ride back in the evening. The forecast is calling for 100% showers and 40mph gust winds!

Note to myself: Have a spare set of underwear in my office.

What a dull day then, eh?

I had to stay late at work so instead of leaving at 4:30, I left at 5:30. I'm so used to cycling home when it was still light so I wasn't too thrilled with the darkness. I was about a mile from the spot where "the body" was supposedly located. All of a sudden, without warning, a cyclist comes flying up on my left and yells, "BOO!" I almost fell off the bike! It was Travis, a young kid I met a few weeks ago. We cycled home together on two occasions. I said, "Travis sweetie...let me tell you a story about a body." And then, "DON'T EVER SCARE ME AGAIN!" He said, "My bad, P...my bad." I couldn't stop laughing.

My eyes tear easily, as well - doesn't matter if it's a cold wind or warm wind. I don't wear contacts, and with my astigmatism I cannot wear sunglasses that wrap due to distortion. So, my optician suggested Liberty Sport Goggles and thus far I'm very happy with them and didn't notice any distortion. They're a nice snug fit, and there was definitely a significant decrease in tear production while riding last weekend into the wind. Here's the link to the goggles, if interested.
