No damage other than my pride. But it was somewhat taxing. It was so slick you could hardly stand. Studs would have been awesome but it ended in 3 miles and this is the first time I've seen such conditions. It was fun to pass go slow and still pass cars.

hi Scott

Which one is Roy Rogers Rd? Towards Sherwood?

Anyway, I live really close to Beaverton and part of my commute's on Beav. Hillsdale Hwy. Did you think the ice was worse this morning? I thought so... there was deffinitely more of it. There were also less bike commuters. I could see the tracks of two and saw only one cyclist on my way to work.
Take care
