is it possible that your compression tights were part of the problem. like anything else, they probably take getting used to. Plus with the winter you all have had your are still building your base miles. Some weeks it's all I can do to get on the bike once let along do back to back days like I used to. Is there an option of commuting every other day for a while until things ease up?

Trying to figure out layering in the spring is an exercise in strip tease.

Give yourself a break and say hi to west Acton for me.
