Today was my first day back to work since 21 December, intent on starting the year off right, it was my first bike commute since summer. It's been very cold and a bit windy lately. Since I am in between road and commuter bikes I rode my single speed mountain bike. Being out of shape and over doing it with layering and bundling I arrived at work a bit sweaty but feeling great. Somehow I forgot how invigorating and motivating an early morning ride is.
