Ice Ride!
Yesterdays storm partially melted due to the ground being warm and then the temps dropped into the 20s.
So much ice! After falling twice on the way to the bus (4 mile ride) and walking 1 of the miles due to horrid traction I took the bus all the way to work. I'm not going to kill or wound myself while riding a bike. I did manage to bruise the heck out of my left palm. Plus, I found a use for sidewalks. In locations where the sidewalk and the street were icy I took to the sidewalk. I find falling on a sidewalk slightly less stressful than falling in the street in traffic. Gee I wonder why.
Anyhow, it is supposed to be 60 F when I leave work. Perfect for my new mileage reversed commute.
Before: ride straight to work and ride halfway home to a bus. 45 miles
In sub freezing temps: take the bus halfway in the morning and ride straight home in the afternoon. It is much easier to stay warm that way. Duh.
