I'm finally back on my bike again after my dog crash nearly 3 weeks ago and a tiring cold the last couple of days.

27 degrees this morning. Back a little sore on uphills, but not too bad now. Dressed in layers and comfortable all the way: REI MTS long sleeve undershirt, Trek long sleeved jersey, Performance Illuminite commuter jacket, midweight tights and booties, Performance Schirocco gloves and balaclava.

I only need to ride outside a little longer before I can afford my new trainer and move inside. My road bike is in no way equipped to ride on slippery roads. We'll have snow covered ground pretty soon that will last until sometime in late April probably.

My goal was to commute 85 days at least one way to work this year. Today I hit 80.
