Nice ride on LFP. Worst area still just South of Fullerton.
That was some of your best writing yet. Keep it up!
I took it easy today. After one too many beers last night, I rode my bike to the Metra station this morning.
I can see why my co-workers who take the train in complain about the cold. Standing still on the platform is no fun on days like this

Today was pretty rad. I got jump a snow bank on the way in on Hubbard! Plus the bridges are nice and slick. Hope everyone had a safe ride and that there is a nice glass of whiskey waiting for you when you get home.
Thanks, Duppie! Glad you enjoyed it. (I'm starting to find my "sea legs" on the blog.)
I did take a little-tiny ride yesterday. By little-tiny, I mean not big-huge. I think it's really cold outside, but what do I know? I've been brutalized by this illness so everything is a little skewed. Whatever the case, keep on winter biking, y'all. As for me, I'm still winter carring until I feel better.

Egads--we have been having quite the proper winter, eh? I am really starting to wonder where all those "mild" 30 degree days are. I really salute those of you who are tackling your first bike winter--Holly, Sarah. . . who else? I have been out on my bike pretty much every day (more habit than bravado) and am so thankful that I know how to stay warm enough--knowledge earned over years.
What do folks think about having some sort of celebration for those in their first season, maybe the weekend of the cycle swap? I was thinking a celebration of those who have made it so far and a "it's not too late" for people who want to get back into their biking habit. . .or perhaps a "it's not too early" to get ready for spring. Maybe with a BW how/why to workshop featuring some of our new veterans?If this idea gets some traction, I reckon protocol would suggest taking the convo to another thread, or the bike winter group. Just wanted to toss it out there.
At least it's sunny!
