St Louis. cold, windy, rainy, 30's F. Got soaked this morning. The drive home is forecast to be 20-30's, gusts out of the north up to 30mph, chance of precip 100%.

I relish the comments of co-workers, ". . . ride your bike today?", "you didn't ride your bike today, did you?", "if you need to take off early, don't want you getting banged up", etc. I smile and nod. I lead a boring life. This is the only risk I take. Allow me that.
