Upstairs to wake my wife and daughter, shower, change, and switch bikes for the ride to work. Still cool and foggy.
Wow, that sounds like the perfect morning. I always fantasize about getting up early to ride and then make it home in time to get my son up, but... I never do. I'm more of a night rider.
Since it's been in the 20s the past couple days in our nation's capital, I dressed the same and then chanced to call Verizon weather. 32 degrees! Am SO glad I checked because there's nothing more I hate than overheating, and it's such a pain in the ass to stop and undress due to my way-overly-complicated packing methodology. So it ended up being a great, cool ride in, with a few flakes starting to fall as I pulled up in front of the gym.
Supposed to snow substantially today, which is a bummer. I'm still having to ride my roadbike in, and those slick tires are gonna let me down one of these days. My new commuter bike should be ready to go by Monday.
