beautiful ride! -15C and only a little wind. (actually one of the local thermometers shows -17C). today was the first day that i wasn't totaly drenched in sweat at the end of my ride in a while. i kept my other windproof jersey zipped up! my nose was chilled the first few minutes but then i got used to it and my hands were pretty cold the last 10 mintes or so.

but wow! what a great commute today --- i took the train/subway the last 2 days - Wed b/c i had to do something directly after work and Thur b/c i did a HUGE leg workout at the gym Thur so need a leg-rest day, so today was my first time on the bike since Tuesday! oh, i missed my morning commute!

the streets are mostly clear b/c of all the salt... but the bike paths are pretty much solid ice with gravel on top -- onyl a few slick spots and all in all quite fine - you just have to ride a little more slowly.
