-11 C. Warmer than yesterday and SUNNY! Yay!

A lot of fun just about sums it up. Except that part on a little street where I got stuck behind a really slow van at some point: the driver started braking for the next stop sign as soon as she took off after stopping for the previous one... And I couldn't even pass her because there wasn't enough distance between the bloody stop signs. And she stayed stopped at each stop sign for, like, five seconds... and those stop signs add up. I'm not sure if she assumed I was a scofflaw stopsign-running cyclist and wanted to teach me a lesson or if she always drives like that... must get a lot of grief from fellow cagers... but I didn't mind it too much. It was a relatively short stretch.

I'm really proud of how I'm handling some of the hills on my commute. They seem to be considerably less work than they used to be, even though I'm doing them in slush with knobbies now. I guess I'm getting stronger. *happy giggle*
