Zero degrees F under cloudless blue (as the sun came up) skies. Coldest ride of the season so far. I was comfortable. The MUP is snowy but it's only a thin layer so it's easy going. There are a lot of iced-over pedestrian tracks already as well. I'm pleased with my bike's performance. A much smoother ride with the full suspension.

Someone else is riding in from the general area where I live (evidence: a track in the snow). I wonder if (s)he'll keep riding even when it's this "cold." Guess I'll see on my ride home. I seem to go in and come home earlier than the other person.

I came up behind two pedestrians. You would think they would hear the loud crunching of ice under my tires, but no. I dinged my bell at them. They heard that. The ped on the right swerved left and the ped on the left swerved right. It was pretty funny. I wasn't near them yet so I had time to take it all in and giggle before they sorted themselves out.
