I've told myself that tomorrow will be the day I miraculously rise from my winter hibernation. Temperatures start to moderate, and the long term trend is positive.

A new low for me this morning. It's funny how 5 degrees doesn't seem too bad once you've got 15; turns out the same is kind of true for -5, relative to 5. I'm overdue for a major tune-up, though.
Looking forward to the warmer temps later this week.

Not too bad this morning, basically same as yesterday. Same slight headwind as I traveled north along Clark into E-town. I counted 5 other CYCLISTS, evenly spread throughout the commute. Represent-sent. I love wearing my ski goggles in this temp. my face is so comfy with them and my two balaclavas. Only one car got frisky with me this morning. dork. lovely ride all together.

I need to do this. Three weeks off the bike...

Shitty ride today. Had a scary-close call with a motorist that turned into a traffic stopping yelling match after I punched the car.
Other than that, great day for a ride.

I have been feeling really down because of not riding for about 6 weeks except for short trips. Made it 9 miles to work today along ChiLFT, huffing and puffing the whole time. Was passed by all of the 5 or 6 southbound people mentioned by rwein5 above, along with the 1 northbound person. At one point I was even passed by a runner, which was completely demoralizing. But I made it and enjoyed myself the whole way! Forgot how to dress, though, and was way too warm!

Nice! I divvied it today and I was going so slow I would have been passed by a jogger if I saw one. I was mostly on Lincoln and Wells which don't tend to be jogging paths, at least past 9am.

Sorry you had to deal with that. I'm assuming the car should have given you more space. How dare you punch something that is about to kill you, or hit you, or make you fall onto the asphalt...

Cold ride this morning, but I warmed up quickly. The sun helped a lot, as did the lack of wind. Looking forward to temps in the 20's for the rest of the week!

Got back on the saddle today after sitting out on the two cold days and it felt great. LFT was totally clear and really appreciated the lack of any noticeable wind. Did not feel that cold at all.
