looking forward to February. I want my newly commuterized MTB to log some more miles!

leaving tonight I got lots of shaking heads cuz it snowed all day. I left at 4:00 instead of 5:00 to beat rush hour but I picked up the beginning of it and there's a new batch of commuters to deal with. the later crowd was used to me, now I'll have to get this bunch used to me. riding in an active snow storm didn't help their attitude. visibility for me stank and it must have been crummy for them too. I got buzzed by more than a couple and one guy swerved way over into the shoulder after passing me - not sure what the exact message was - move over maybe? yeesh.

got a bloody nose on the way home - the new B12 is too strong. 2500 micrograms instead of 500. I'm gonna have to cut 'em down. I had to stop for a little while and use pressure to get it to stop.

12.92 miles
24.3 mph max spd
12.5 mph avrg spd
1 hr and 1 min (exact same time as the ride in this morning hahaha LOL)
