Forgive me, BikeForums commuters, for I have sinned. It's been three months since my last bicycle commute. In that time, I have over-indulged my ice cream cravings and skipped many morning workouts. I have even driven an automobile to work on occasion.

It's been a pretty mild winter for Edmonton, so I have less of an excuse than in previous years for not riding, but I finally got up the gumption to ride today, first time since mid-November. -6C / 21F with a very slight headwind, with an above-freezing forecast for the ride home. Pretty uneventful, but I really felt it on the hills. It was a bit scary on one hill on a narrow road riding straight into the sunrise, but thankfully, the two drivers that passed me on that stretch saw me and gave me a wide berth. I couldn't see a thing.
