wretched morning. Couldn't get anybody in the house moving. 29F. My hands hurt by the time I was passing the house after dropping 8 yr old. So I stopped in for some glove liners.

Then a flat. I took my coffee cup out of the bottle cage before laying the bike down, but it tipped over anyway on the frozen turf and emptied out. Argh.

Tried to do as much work on the flat as I could in the glove liners, kinda maintain circulation in my fingers, but it was awkward. Usually I can patch a flat w/o pulling the wheel but this morning nothing was working and I wound up replacing the tube, which I definitely hate to do on a sunny day.

Anyway, no injuries or destroyed parts or anything but it was a slow sluggish cold morning and I got into work late.
