It was raining and extremely windy when I got up on Wednesday, so I drove. Of course, the skies cleared and the wind died down about an hour after I got to work. That's OK because I generally need to drive one day a week to restock supplies and run errands.

I was back on my bike again this morning, however. My legs felt fresh after the day off. Will finish up the month with about 550 miles, slightly short of my goal of riding at least 600 miles/month. Not bad for a January, though, particularly since all of my mileage was on the road (no trainers or spin classes). Also, we had several days when it wasn't safe to ride due to ice and sleet on the roads.
