Pleasant ride to work, about 27F. Nailed the clothing just right.

The used Microshift 8 integrated shifters I installed on my 2015 Charge Plug are starting to become unreliable in the cold, same as the Shimanos on my Felt.

Yesterday was the most physically taxing day I've had in quite a while with two elaborate video shoots involving loading, unloading and carrying most of our lights and stands to two different 4th floor locations. I used the elevators for the big loads, but we had a time crunch and it was faster to run up and down the stairs with the little stuff. My nearby printer is still out, so I still have to take a full flight of stairs to retrieve my print-outs at the office (no elevator in the building).

I took the longer trail-to-trail route home to avoid steep hills and traffic. The first 5 miles were quick and easy and then my legs said "enough!" and the last three miles dragged. I kept checking to see if there was any rubbing with the tires, or head wind or incline, but it was just my legs...I had enough cardio, but not a lot of strength.

My legs didn't hurt until I got into bed when they and my arms started to smart a little.

But this morning I feel fine.
