I did get out today - a too hell with the roads day.
I Divvied. Twice. I am ready to declare that these bikes are pretty OK in slush, snow, and on frozen stuff.
I am still hibernating, but did you mean "to hell with the roads" or "the roads were too much like hell"? :-)

Chiberia is wearing me down. Only one short ride last week. I'm sitting out today (and probably tomorrow) with the cold temps. I know, dress appropriately and you can ride in any temp. And I will ride ride the mile to the gym "in any temp" but my 6-7 mile commute in this cold is too much for me.
A tip of my balaclava to those still riding on days like today.

Yes.
Though, I'm getting tired of the layering process in the morning. I can't wait to throw on shorts and a t-shirt and just roll out the door.

I only managed a short ride to the train this morning. Man, did it feel cold! Even our basement has been cold, limiting the time I can comfortably mess around in the basement workshop.
On the plus side, we leave for a week in Florida on Saturday...
Looks like starting Thursday, temps will rise to more seasonal highs (low 30's). Looking forward to it.

I didn't think it was that cold this morning... just as cold as the past two weeks or whatnot... but I did have to stop and change from sunglasses to ski goggles after a few blocks from my apt because my eyes were getting blinky. blinking too much. Now that I'm at work I agree with The Grizz, want to go sleep. I counted 5 cyclists on the way. Two guys I always see heading south on Clark, the others were total strangers. who were they? I don't know.
