Just wanted to celebrate...
 

with those who I know will appreciate it most. Today was the first real test of whether I'm going to keep up the commuting.

The weather report:
"Snow...then freezing rain...snow...rain with a chance of sleet this afternoon. Precipitation may be heavy at times. Snow and sleet accumulation of 4 to 6 inches. Windy with highs in the lower 30s. East winds 20 to 30 mph. Gusts up to 30 mph... increasing to 40 mph this afternoon. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent. "

I have to say, it was pretty fun. Been a while since I mountain biked, and feeling my wheels slipping all over the place brought back memories of lovely single track.

I've been doing this for half a year now, but this is the first time I really knew I was addicted :-P

Yah, it's kind of like when we were kids, and crap weather was fun to play in! :D

The best part for me, besides the ride, is the coworkers calling me crazy.

In this case it was a professor. But I referenced the paper on all-cause mortality being 40% lower in bike commuters, and he seemed impressed.

None of my co-workers called me crazy cuz none of them made it in in this slop. Good job OP!

Thanks! In Boston people were driving pretty well, despite it being the first snow. Comes with experience I guess.
