much less wind today and a bit warmer- about 20F on the way in this morning and about 25F on the way home. So, it feels like Miami beach out there compared to the last few days. Been trying to push the cadence to get a little faster on these rides but I must say I feel like I'm slow pokey. I dare not say how slow my average time was this week. I really do think the cold weather makes the muscles less responsive. The ice on the river is beautiful, especially on the western side of the Mass Ave bridge where the wind layered it into fantastic crystalline chunks. This morning saw two cyclists on the way in and two on the way home.
