I'm so proud of myself I could just burst! I've always been such a weenie about being outside in the cold. I love the new snow tires. I love looking like a "dork" to quote my 16-year-olds. I love the look on my bosses wife when I rode in on my bike today (she's my age, but twice my age, if you know what I mean). I got new goggles from 6pm.com. Between them, my balaclava, my hat and helmet, you can't see my face at all. The wind chill was -10 so I was prepared. I didn't fall, but I did have to walk my bike through some of the worst of the icy ruts where the snow had been packed down.
