The temperature was hovering at the freezing mark this morning with cloudy skies and a few showers in the area. It wasn't raining at my house and the radar didn't show anything on my route, so I made a run for it. Made it to work with no problems, and it's supposed to clear off later if the forecasters are right (which isn't often).

My regular commuter bike has been decommissioned for the time being. I am turning it into a single speed and stripped off most of the components and took it to the mechanic for the conversion over the weekend. I've ordered a new touring frame for my commuter bike, which should arrive in the next few weeks, and will commute on my old Merckx Corsa in the meantime. It was fun commuting on the Corsa, although it looks more like a Freddy Merckx with my lights, fenders, and large seatbag attached.
