Went multi-modal last night, sort of. Rode my bike to the Nat'l Archives - met my wife and saw Food, Inc., the documentary. If you haven't seen it yet, BTW, please do. It'll make you think twice about what we eat and where it comes from. It's nominated for best documentary feature at this year's Oscars, too. Anyway, after the movie, metro'ed home w/ my wife and my bike on the train. Sure missed my afternoon ride for sure, though.

The ride in this morning was windy... again. This 15-20 mph headwind w/ gusts to 25-30 EVERY morning thing is getting old. Can't wait for some less breezy days. At least I'm riding home tonight, so if the wind keeps up, I'll get the benefit of the tailwind. At least the sun is out again, and the temperatures have been really comfortable for riding w/ a hacket and full finger gloves on (30s in the AM 40s in the PM).

Looking forward to the end of next week, when I will hit 500 miles of commuting for the year so far. Would have had that many already were it not for the freak winter weather we've had.
