We went into the freeze thaw cycle the past week which opened up a lot of potholes. Before that we had a month straight of below freezing weather. There's a ton of sand and salt on the roads. I was out three times since the New Year and it was crappy riding. Glare ice here and there so I never felt it was safe to open it up and go hard. But I did climb a few steep hills near my home so that felt good to hit the lungs with a hard work out.
