Ride in the rain? OK. Ride in the cold? If I must. Both? Arrrgh!
Another of those functional rides. With rain threatening to become snow, I kept an eye on Weatherbug to find a break in the clouds. Sure enough it happened and I was off!

There was still some drizzle and was in the low 40s. Just Nasty. But traffic was fairly light. The return trip was just cold. Total miles 5.75.

Observations? Nothing of note except on confirmation that a**holes in vehicles insist on demonstrating the obvious under the worst conditions. "Oh, its wet, maybe I can spin my tires between lights". OK, did you consider that you could fish-tale on the wet pavement? Hitting another car, or worse, my bike? "Well, duh..but I spun my tires!" Yeah, right sez I.
