finally managed to commute on the weekend. The icy Boston streets, the cratered frozen ice and snow on the bike path just made it too much of an ordeal to do the 11 mile ride into Boston until Saturday. I hated wimping out- it was rideable I just didn't want the hassle. But man, the bus and "T" drives me nuts, too. Instead of arriving to work invigorated I was sleepy and sullen. It's so HOT on the bus!

The ride in on Beacon was fine. Not great but fine and the bike path home was like really rough double track so I just made believe I was out mountain biking and that made it fun. But it took forever to get home. Definitely not doable for those in a hurry and especially no good for those without good studded snow tires.
