Cool this morning (temps in the low to mid 30's) but felt rather balmy and comfortable. I misinterperated a safety cone in the middle of the trail as a prank, however I soon realized that it was put there as a warning that the wooden bridge had a thin coating of ice. I hit it at a decelerating speed of about 13 mph and fish tailed a bit but managed to not go down. The rest of the ride was uneventful and, although I rode a little more cautiously, I made great time. I'm also really happy with the performance of my new rear fender. It does a great job of keeping that annoying road spray off my back.
