No ice or snow after all, just misting rain and 2°, the new "normal" here in March. Evidently. Not really uncomfortable with my fairing, other than my being spooked by the forecast into overdressing.
One odd thing though. Over the last few weeks I've been seeing an old couple riding together, slow, newbies apparently from their judgment and skills but obviously enjoying their rides. I was surprised to see them this morning continuing up a steep gravel road beyond the MUP. Usually I only see a couple of hard-core commuters in this weather, and today not even them. Just the old couple.
