Had a pretty good commute today until the chain on my Lucas Valley snapped. Silly me forgot to put the chain tool in my pack after switching to my larger camalbak for the winter. Ooops. Luckily I had already compledt 10 miles of my 13 commute and I was able to get a ride the rest of the way from a buddy at work.
Howerver, the trail I ride on was glare ice. So I spent 6+ miles loving my W106 studded tires. Just amazing what you can ride on with those, if your careful.
