Coldest ride since last winter for me, with temps in the low 20s F. Temps in this range don't bother me as I've got good winter gear, and I actually prefer the cold to hot, humid weather. However, my toe warmers are getting pretty ragged and apparently need replacing as my feet were colder than usual. Fortunately, I have another pair of them that I can put on my shoes. My eyes also watered like crazy, which I'm just going to have to deal with this winter. I bought new cycling glasses (prescription) in the fall and they are not as good at blocking wind as I had hoped they would be.

I had a close call on one section of my commute where water has been draining across the road all year, apparently from a leaking pipe of some sort. I've reported it to the city a couple of times, and they fixed it once but it broke again. Anyway, I forgot about the leak until I was almost upon it and fortunately saw the white ice on the road and was able to swerve around it. I probably would have gone down if I had hit it. I had sent another message to the city several days ago about the leak, but they still haven't fixed it.
