Kudos to you guys who rode the last couple of days -- I took metro. Back on the bike today.
I forgot to check, but I'm guessing temps were in the low 30s by the time I hit the road, and my ride was fine. No ice on the bridge, fairly uncrowded on the Capital Crescent Trail, and managed to hit most of the lights well as I got into the city. Another rider told me we had a bit of a tailwind on the mall, though I think it was mostly offset by the occasional crosswind. I felt a bit lazy, but managed to keep my average speed up where I expect it to be.
Took the longer (15 1/2 miles) ride home on Monday night, and it went well, so I think I'll do the same tonight.
