Was a bit warmer on the way in this am... 24F when i passed the clock/thermometer going up the hill. Left a few minutes late and was in uber-slack mode.

Usually I ride in like it's some sort of race. Today I shifted down a couple gears and just poked along. Slowed down and smelled the diesel fumes, if you know what I mean. It was all fine until a girl passed me like I was standing still while cruising up the hill. Oh well, she snagged a piece of ego on the way past and put another notch in her water bottle.

I smiled and said good morning anyways :-)

Only 19 more days till the days start getting longer !
