I rode today. Did you?

Nice first ride in the COLD.

The potholes on Milwaukee and Augusta are getting worse. Until today, there was at least a narrow strip of pavement that would allow you to avoid the cluster of potholes, but now that strip has disintegrated. I've put in a 311 request, but be really careful if you ride SB Milwaukee.

Eggggads! So sorry to hear. I've fallen so far twice this week (both relatively slow and thankfully painless). I think it's my stay puff marshmallow man layering. Heal up and feel betters.

And this am...so much easier than yesterday's wind shennanigans. I think I prefer the drop in temperature into the teens over the wind gusts peaking over 35 mph.

My last ride for 6-8 weeks occurred Saturday morning. Slipped on some ice and shattered my forearm.

That part of town gets good service. I went through last night and there were four vans parked around the North Avenue underpass with workers all over. Not only was the standing water gone but the tunnel was bone dry! They must have had blowers running on it all afternoon.

I got out the pontoons and was fine.

I just reported it to the Park District.

I put one in yesterday. :-) I hope multiple requests result in quick work!

My bike had a flat this morning and I discovered this formula.

Divvy + Headwind + Non-Aerodynamic Bag = Good Burn!

Forget what I said; it was really deep today; too deep to even go through. Plus I soaked one foot halfway to my knee turning around and pushing myself back out. I hope that's mostly water in there...
