We've been in a weather pattern since December where fronts come through the area midweek, bringing cold rain or snow for a couple of days. So I haven't bike commuting more than 3 days a week since early December, sometimes only two. We had the usual pattern again this week, so I rode Monday, Thursday and Friday. Fortunately, our weekend/holiday weather has been relatively nice although cold. As a result, I've ridden considerably more mileage on my days off this month compared to commuting -- which is unusual for winter.

I might try my first fixed/single speed commute next week. I just had my regular commuter bike converted to a SS/fixe since I'm getting a new touring frame for commuting. The touring frame is supposed to arrive any day now, so I went ahead with the conversion. Just picked up the new single speed last night but didn't have time to ride it yet. Will get it all dialed in this weekend and perhaps ride it to work some days -- which should be a real workout since my commute route is very hilly.
