Ride home last night was into a nasty freezing headwind. It was worse b/c I was late getting home and trying to rush.

This morning: low 20s, still windy making for a nice tailwind again, and for a change sunny and beautiful.

Part of my commute is on a lakefront path. The cold, windy conditions of the past few days have created wild icicles and ice curtain shapes on the trees rocks and brush on the lake shore, from all the waves and spray. The sun reflecting off the choppy water and shining through the icicles created an amazing effect this morning. Wished I had my camera - maybe tomorrow morning. Forecast is for continued cold, wind and sun.

Taking a different route home tonight: stopping by the home of a craigslist seller who is clearing out a bunch of old bike gear.
