Consecutive bicycle work commute number 1340:

Laid up the last two days with food poisoning, so I didn't ride or work (or get out of bed for much, for that matter.) My brother had the exact same thing in the exact same time window. We ate out together on Saturday night and ordered the same meal, and the other people with us ordered different things so we're speculating that was the cause.

Of course, yesterday was unseasonably warm with the high temp nearing 50°F. Would have been a great day to ride had I not been yacking. In South Dakota, getting above freezing in January is a treat, let alone upper 40s.

This morning I was feeling human enough to return to work. The temp was 33°F, which wasn't bad at all. The north wind was pretty chilly, and the ground was still frozen which made all of yesterday's snow melt turn to sheet ice in spots, but overall I can't complain.
