weather was fine. stopped raining as soon as i stepped out of the house . minor mishap though. got wiped off my bike by a large tree branch that i guess had been partially broken off by a truck. it was quite dark and i didn't see it dangling over the side of the road until my helmet light hit it at the last minute. had just enuf time to think "?!", then bang. went down pretty hard but no damage done.

ordered my first pair of studded tires. hope they arrive before the snow!
