I had a hard time getting motivated to ride in this morning. The thermometer said 24F which isn't too cold, but I had to convince myself to not drive in today. It'll get quite a bit colder over the next month or two, and these days will be the warm ones.

The air this week has been incredibly clear. During the winter months we usually get inversions which keeps all the crap in the air stuck in the same place, making a lot of haze and smog stick around until a storm comes through. It feels great to breath cold but really fresh air, and see the peaks of the mountains so clearly. The climb to work was really good, and I was able to keep my every-other-day goal pace to the top. I forgot my headlight so I'll probably leave a little bit early.

Gecho just reminded me that I need to replace my tire repair stuff, I used it all up on the group ride I did last week!
