Friday was a big day! Friday marked 3,000 miles just for commuting, and also my 100th commuting day of 2017. Everything after about 2,500 commuting miles has been a record for me. Can I get to 3,500 for the year? We'll see!

This morning was the first sub-freezing commute of the season, and also my first sub-freezing commute on my e-bike. I was very thankful for the e-bike because it made the 55 minute ride much more bearable and even enjoyable to some extent (compared to 80-85 minutes the road bike would have taken me). For the first time I was able to wear my balaclava fully covering my face, with my glasses, without major fogging issues. I think because I wasn't breathing nearly so heavily. And with a tech base layer, long-sleeve cotton tee, and my Nashbar softshell jacket, I was pretty comfortable. Also tried wearing boots with my SmartWool socks, which worked okay I guess. The boots aren't really wide enough and my toes were starting to feel cold after 55 minutes of riding.

But overall it was a good ride!
