Another one left at 5:30 pm and didn't get home until 1:30 am (!! carpool). My coworkers thought I was completely nuts as I insistently turned down their offers for a ride home. Betting anything I got home before all of them as I was only slowed by about 30 minutes including taking photos and chatting with the neighbor for a bit.
No work today. It'll be mostly a foot commute around the 'hood.
I was in Portland last Christmas and got to enjoy their annual snowstorm... rode from one side to the other and witnessed some first hand carnage, the trains shut down, buses shut down, and we went out for dinner after The Girl finished work... on our bikes.
I am just getting ready for my commute as I am going in to the co-op for the Tuesday night bike build... figure I better put on two pairs of socks tonight and put some merino under the wool.
The roads are fine but damn it's cold.
