Topped 40,000 miles total bike commuting on my ride to work this morning. Fireworks were exploding, cars honking their horns, confetti falling from the sky. It was spectacular! That's 64,500 kms for you metric types.

The cold front that has blanketed the North with snow is arriving in NC today, but it's a mere shred of its former fury. Temps were in the low to mid-30s on my ride to work and are supposed to be about the same on my ride home. I was a bit overdressed because the local weather forecasters were freaking out as if it was the coming of the next ice age. Tomorrow morning it could drop down to the teens, but I'm betting that it will bottom in the low 20s.
