The really bad part was that I didn't bike all 31 kms I did today in one stretch. It was on and off, with a few hour-long breaks after which I had to put soaked clothes on and head back out. There are few things more unpleasant than having to put on wet socks and gloves and head back out into the rain. Oh, and I didn't have fenders on the bike I was riding today which made the ride much dirtier and wetter... though by the end of the day it made absolutely no difference.

Tomorrow we're supposed to get 10-15 cm of snow, so it's going to be VERY interesting. If it's really bad I might even use the TTC because I don't even have a snow bike built up yet. However I'll be leaving the house later in the day tomorrow, so maybe the roads will have cleared up a bit by then and I could ride after all. Wish me luck. *gulp*
