Last year I said I didn't want to do this again, now I'm thinking about it, and actually warming to the idea.
Maybe next year.
C'mon - admit it - you'd miss the look of dumbfounded awe on those driver's faces when it's 40 below and blizzarding and they can bearly survive in their car with the heater! Or getting to work on time when everyone else is a half hour late from the conditions, then telling everyone - "yeah, I just rode, no problems with traffic..." and having them not believe you.
I've seen you posting on the winter board too - you can't tell me you don't love the challenge and satisfaction of it.
It would be sad to lose one of the winter riders out here, although it does seem that we have more every year...
