Nice chilly ride in this morning, -3C/26F. Everyone seems to be coming in early to avoid the snow in the forecast for this afternoon. Is it weird that I'm looking forward to it? Riding with shellaced bars was very different from the cork tape I'm used to, but I think the change will stick. I really like the color now, an olive drab green. I was worried it wasn't going to darken, but after 5 coats it's about right. The new brass bell really helps tie it together. The old red bell will go on the trailer bike for my son.
