Tell me about it! I slid out on an icy wooden bridge a few weeks ago. I was riding very slow due to the conditions, but still lost it on a 90-degree turn. Fortunately there was no harm other than my bruised ego.
Our mild winter is about to come to an end this week. Today was a very pleasant 40-something degrees and dry, but a series of cold fronts should lead to low temps in the teens by Thursday and Friday. I can handle that, but I'm sick of all the rain, fog, mist, etc. that we've been having lately.
