First commute of February, thanks to all-time record-breaking snow storms and such. I had some snow-related route issues to resolve (look here in case you're interested). But I did figure out a route which seems to work for the time being until some more of the snow is gone.

What has me most excited is that today was my first ride w/ the new Dyad rear wheel and SRAM cassette I got. I'm quite pleased. Need to do some tweaking to derailleurs and such, but the ride feels great, and I am quite pleased with my gear selections.

My fenders also got to see their first substanial use. A few good stretches of slushy snow melt that kicked up off the road by my tires gave them a good test, and they were up to the challenge.

Curious about my alternate route heading home tonight. But I think it'll work out well.
