Yes I did! Was nice to see lots of bikers on my way home with taillights blinking.

The morning rain chased most people away today. Lucky for me I usually leave so late it had stopped. The wind was kind of a pain, though.

Not today, but I’ll be back on the horse tomorrow!

I did. Was a nice cool ride on the LFP.

I think next week will see a lot fewer riders due to the holiday.

My morning ride was nice and ever so slightly warmer until I met up with the morning Friday bike coffee group (we have a weekly meet-up at a coffee shop near the White House). We sat outside on metal seats. Brrrr! I feel like I could use a heated seat after that. Made it back up into MD with 20 minutes to spare. It's a really nice thing to meet up with fellow riders. I really need to go more often.

Nice that you made it again today (no sitting outside anymore, though).

Yes! So nice to sit inside. The Brompton was convenient to tuck into a corner today. Always good to see everyone.

Rode LFP yesterday.  Lot's of riders out to and from work.

Today took Divvy in since forecast shows storms coming mid-afternoon.  If not, I'll Divvy back home.

Nice to have options!

Yes, nice ride in.  Saw a few more bikers than I expected on Black Friday.

I did.  LFP to Oak Street.  Lake was crazy angry this morning.  Oak Street curve was impassable so bikers went into streets at the underpass there.

I went through. And got some splash on the curve that soaked my feet. The rest of the run south to the flyover was just as bad but you could use the elevated path next to Lake Shore Drive for most of it. As much as I hate riding in traffic in the dark I'll probably have to use Dearborn after work. My socks are on one of the vents drying as I type.

I'm used to the curve being bad but the whole stretch south being impassable is new for this year.

When I have to take Dearborn (like last night), I usually head back to the LFP at North Ave.

Works pretty well.
