WOW I thought it was really pretty to see my headlight sparkle off the snow on the side of the roads this morning. I also saw 18F on the GPS this morning. It was only 5 degrees from my coldest ride record (13F). I rode through a stream along the greenway and froze my brakes. [probably not the smartest way to go] It was not too big a deal until I came around a curve later and a masked bandit (raccoon) was strolling toward me. I could not stop so I veered into the grass and snow on the side of the greenway. I kept it rubber side down the whole way ... even with ice on the roads/ trails. Good ride.


I forgot my work socks too. but sure beats driving. I have to hustle home tonight to make it to a Christmas Party. I hope it is a bit warmer.
