37F degrees under a steady rain. A great day to ride! I think the bicycle commute season has begun, barring a freak snow storm. One never knows here.

The rail trail has patches of slush-covered ice, but nothing impassible.

Yesterday I was down by the trail checking out its condition and I watched some big Ox on a mountain bike bomb right into a patch of the ice/slush. He barely held it together for about 25 feet then did a nice slow-motion slide & dump to the ground. I watched to make sure he was okay, and he was. Probably just a bruised ego.
