I haven't been riding much. At the end of December, my wife and I took a nine-day driving trip through Ohio. We had a nice time, but I didn't lift my leg over a bike once, which was sad. We did take some nice walks, though. I've been riding short distances, as the weather has been nasty. Global warming makes me nervous, so it's hard to appreciate it when it's unseasonably warm. Now it got "normal" and it feels really cold, since we're not acclimated. I decided to be like a Minnesotan ("There's no bad weather, only bad clothing") today, and I had a rehearsal to go to, so I bundled up a lot. I wore boots with no cleats and my skiing helmet. Well, it worked. In fact, I didn't need quite that much clothing, but I certainly didn't get cold. It was only about four miles each way, but it was nice, as I crossed the East River into Brooklyn.
