Today was the first time I have ever ridden in more then a dusting of snow. Oye....did I learn some lessons.

-Leaving 15 minutes early is a godsend in terms of traffic. I was able to handle that just fine.
-The 1 mile pathway I take in the middle of my ride was not plowed, ever. I was the first person on the pathway so I was going through 6-8 inches of snow....that wasn't very easy.
-My brakes did not work nearly as well as I thought they might. In fact, the front brake didn't stop me at all and I needed a lot more distance to stop for the back brakes. Yikes!

But I was warm! At least I dressed right

I have a coworker giving me a ride home tonight....I know I could probably bike it, but with the brake problems and the heavy traffic I encounter on the way home, I figure it's just not worth the risk. I'll fix that stuff and give it another shot later
