Yep, pretty hairy out there today!

Went out on College and back on Dumbass...both about the same conditions wise. Might as well take the whole lane 'cause you have to ride so close to the tracks nobody can pass anyhow. On the plus side, as others have said nobody seems to be too upset about it either (wonder how much that will change come rush hour) Had to put my foot down a couple times, but no crashes.

My new fenders work very well so I'm happy bout that. If I'm gonna keep riding in this crap I should definitely get a front derailleur that will let me have a granny gear, or at the very least put a lower range cassette on the back. 38X21 is my lowest gear and that was pushing it through a couple tough spots.
