All of my winter rides are slow -- extra layers, etc. Also, the alternate routes that add ride time during the good weather get pretty much abandoned below 40F, so my commutes are 4 miles RT.

I'm off today, so I'll just summarize the past week -- 1 day above freezing, and it was soaking wet. They've all been windy. The average has been 20-25F with windchills about 10F. Since that 1 warm day (and the slightly less warm, but still above freezing, day before it), the snow is gone. Had to pump the tires back up for better roll on dry surfaces.

It's still a ride, every day..... Vowed to stay away from the bus routes as long as possible this winter, with an eye to pedaling through the whole season. (Since I WILL NOT roll on ice, that hasn't happened in the last decade.)
