Quite a cycling week to start the New Year. I've ridden every day so far except Jan. 1, and it's been very cold and extremely windy at times. The last couple of days have been relatively calm, however, and my commute times about 5 minutes faster as a result. I dressed lighter today than usual for the temperature (low 30s) because it is supposed to warm up to the mid-60s by afternoon. So I pushed the pace to keep warm, which worked well all except for my fingers. Should have worn my warmer gloves and carried some lighter ones in my seatbag for the ride home.

One of my coworkers rode today for the first time that I am aware of. I'll have to talk to him later and give some encouragement. I've been the only one in my office building bike commuting over the past month or so, and it would be nice to have some compatriots.
