First ride of the new year, today! It was ~ 35 F when I left the house in the 9 am hour. The temp was predicted to approach 50 F by mid-day. I haven't been on the bike since early December, and the advent of Black Ice on the unlit, 2-lane or less, curvy, hilly roads I ride on.
I went 4-5 miles to the library, where I'm using this here computer. I have to make a side trip on my way home that should bring my daily toatal into the 10-12 mile area.
So far, I've only had to dismount and walk up a hill once.
