I wussed out and took the bus. The other day my hands went numb and my shifter ceased to engage... don't know if it's cold-related or if it just gave up the ghost at the wrong time.
Think I'll have to travel over to EBC to see about studding some tires and a replacement shifter if need be. Need goggles and new gloves too - my face was killing me and my mittens didn't cut it.
Still, I don't like the bus.
