rode in and home via Beacon St and the urban road route- no bike path.

I'm crawling along these days at what feels like a snails pace even on the road.

Temp this am about 12F. This evening about 18F.

Unlike the path most of what I can report of the road/street ride is of interactions with motorists. I actually had two positive ones. One a big black pick up truck that gave me plenty of room passing after having had to wait for a while to get by me on Beacon and the other a cabbie that saw me signal to cross over Beacon on the way home and slowed way down and indicated to me that he'd wait as I diagonaled my way across the road.

I got buzzed a couple of times too but I've long since forgotten why or how.
