It was lovely to have a warmer ride today but-- I can't seem to get the clothing right. Two days ago I forgot my long johns & wool socks and I about froze. Today I remembered everything and I sweated!

The nice thing about the sun & warmer temp today was that the frozen slush melted a little. It was actually a little harder to go through than after it had frozen solid, but there was more dry pavement. I'm a little sad to see the nasty roads turn nice because it means I'll be cranking around with these pointless (ha ha) studded tires, but the re-frozen slush was so difficult to bike over, even with the studded tires, that I'm not very sad.

I had to come back this evening to finish an experiment and I drove. I was not interested in tackling the re-re-frozen slush albeit somewhat less of it in the dark, with or without studded tires.
