On the way out, the roads were all very slushy, and there was a lot more traffic than usual. Some drivers also seemed to think I should ride in the deep slush (impossible) so they could take the tire tracks
There was a terrible headwind, too.....but I was warm because I had to work so hard.


The way home was much better, still lots of slush, but I tried to stick to one-way streets to avoid traffic. It was a beautiful night....but in the teens and single digits, so breathing through my nose gave me brain freeze....

I got to work all stressed from the terrible ride, and got home feeling much better....I was able to enjoy the ride home
