Last commute of the year, so it was a little bittersweet. About 0°F on the way home, and I had a novel issue: ice kept forming on my eyelashes, occasionally interfering with my view. ;)

Not quite yet! :) My main commuting route is pretty flat, so 59" works for the speeds I go in the winter. What I really miss are the clean roads that would let me go faster (especially turning)...

Temp was 25 F/-4 C when I left this morning, but I was plenty warm (even had to take off and stow my windbreaker) thanks to my new AmFib tights. :thumb:

Chilly and slower than usual. I put the studded tires on my fixed-gear and lowered the gearing in anticipation of snow and/or ice. (It snowed a little yesterday.)

On the plus side, I didn't feel...

Today's commute in wasn't too bad except for the persistent headwind. I think I made a fundamental error when I bought the house I did, because it seems like the prevailing winds are always against...

I've heard of "take it easy" commutes, but I've never been able to do it myself. I might start off easy, but before long, I'm busting ass and sprinting through intersections like usual. Oh well. ...

Today was a mixed bag. There was a strong headwind on top of being fried from last night's club ride, so I was dragging this morning. I even had to use my small ring (39T) briefly.

On the way...

Got up super-late this morning after upgrading my iPhone last night. Of course, I spent an extra 5 minutes to get my "fast" bike ready for the trip. :thumb:

My commute today was slowed down because I kept getting my bellbottoms caught on my water bottle cage. Anyone got any ideas?

Possibly my fastest commute to work this morning -- 6.6 miles in 23 min. I was working hard (running late as usual) and carrying the bare minimum, but got some good luck at stoplights as well. :)

Fantastic ride in this morning. I had checked to see if I had a spare set of clothes at work (pants, socks, undies, shirt) the previous day, so I rode sans bags of any kind. Just my wallet,...

Today's commute in was fine -- slightly damp, not too hot or cold. My ass was still a little sore, and my legs a little weary from doing the Preston route of TOMRV over the weekend, though. ;)
