Wow, what a beautiful day here in the good old flyover states. Silly me, I started out this morning with a hat, gloves and coat, but after the first hill, I shed all three. Boy, that felt good!!! Sunny, warm, glorious!!!

Frosty, clear and beautiful. My speed is improving inspite of the hills, ice and cold.

Glad that I spent 90 seconds reinstalling the raceblades this morning. No rain on the way in, but it's pouring now. Even if it stops by 5, the streets will be sopping wet.

It was a pretty typical February ride today, a high of 28F... at least the sun is shining and roads are clear.

28F, clear & dry at 6AM today but I had a lunchtime meeting across town so had to drive in. This afternoon it was 47F & sunny so on the way back to work I grabbed my Torelli for a nice ride. Local critters are getting active with all this good weather: saw a racoon today, Sunday there were 7 deer in our neighbor's field, then Sunday afternoon, The Eagle that has been hanging around, lowered the local Canadian goose count by 1! Awesome! Supposed to be clear weather through Friday. Don

It snowed about 4 or five inches last night, looked like the plow guy for route 30 slept in late, so the first 7 miles was of one inch thick packed snow/ice all cut to pieces by the plow in the a.m., kind of like riding a sloped washboard with the soap still on it, thankfully the temp was 35F so the snow/ice was kinda-sorta not rock hard. The 5.5 mile descent on Rte 11/30, which usually is much worse than route 30, got salted last night and was essentially clear, wet but clear. Oh, yeah, a couple passing trucks (on route 30) did a really good job of plastering me with slush, salt and sand, at least they were giving me plently of room. The ride home was beautiful 35F +/- partly cloudy, light breeze, and clear mostly dry roads.

It has a warm ride in today 50f and about that on the ride home .But it is going to snow tomorrow . I hope it warm this week end . Have a good nite .

Didn't ride today. First time I didn't bike commute in over 2.5 weeks. I feel like somethings missing, like I didn't take my morning dump! Looked like a good morning to ride.

Riding the past two days has been wonderful, with clear cool mornings. After a host of mechanical problems it was nice to get back on the road. Yesterday for a few hundred yards I rode along with a group of road bikers ... running with the big boys. Given my physique and riding style it was like a dachsund or maybe a bulldog running with a group of greyhounds for a couple of hundred yards. Oh well, its just the morning commute -- not a race.

That's a hoot!!! :roflmao: You made my day! We are having typical February temps. 18F this morning and a high of maybe 25F, but at least the sun is shining. Very nice commute this morning, it's nice to see the sun rise finally instead of darkness all the way in.

Good ride this morning. The deer I saw on Monday were nowhere to be seen today. The temp was -18C with a cross wind. Overall, uneventful ride.

Warmed up a bit and commuted today for the first time since my icy crash last friday. It was pretty windy this morning and I had one of those great tailwinds for a few miles. You know the kind where you are traveling the exact same speed as the tailwind. Makes it feel as if there is no wind at all. I saw a couple of raccoons too.

I rode to work and home in the rain here in Toronto through two construction zones I had dirt and thick mud all over the place and the wind was heavy BUT I loved it >Steeker

It was just around freezing this morning. I spotted another roadie cyclist in the distance and eventually caught up with him. He was a friendly fellow as it turned out, we exchanged a few words between gasps for air and swapped for the lead a couple of times until our routes diverged again. I wished him a good ride and finished the last couple of miles to work. How many drivers could say the same?

That made a nice change.

Cheers,

Ed

The commute was strange today. I rode to work wearing shorts, leg warmers, l/s shirt, and vest. I was HOT when I got to work. It was ~70F (21C) this afternoon so I wore shorts, s/s shirt, and vest. The traffic was rather cooperative for some reason.
Tomorrow it's supposed to be much colder and windy.
It's a wonder I'm not sick from the weather changing every day.

21F, clear with no wind & dry streets @ 6AM today, rode to work thru very light traffic. About 1 mile from work the streets were suddenly white with frost & I had to reduce speed. Kind of wierd that it was only frosty in this area but there are several hundred acres of woods around my workplace so it may have been foggy earlier. 51F & sunny this afternoon. Not your usual February day in South Sound Country. Don

Last night on the way home I got absolutely soaked. Just a steady soaking rain. Today is still damp but it should be pleasant.

Snow on the way to work . But the roads was clear on the way home . Good ride today . Have a good nite .

First time riding today in, oh, about eight years. Nice ride - about 10C (50F), sunny, little/no wind. Mostly uphill going, so a nice downhill ride home. Legs were sore, but it felt good to start up biking again. Need to make a few adjustments on the bike, but I'm looking forward to the next commute.

Cheerio,

INP

Rode with my son to his school today. Cool and a beautiful sunrise, 42°F. Happy trails!

INP, congrats on starting back riding! How far is your commute?

A little nippy, mid 30sF. Fine ride

low 20s, sunny, rather stiff zephyr in the open areas. winter is just rolling along!

Good ride in today. -17C without any wind. I forgot to charge the battery up for this morning. Thankfully the days are getting longer and therefore not as much need for a headlight to see the road with. I have four blinkies, an LED headlight and a 10 watt halogen headlight so if one craps out it is not a show stopper.

Today it felt like I could spin forever.....what a feeling.

good ride today.. -10C and just a slight side wind. I am starting to think that my fenders are too close ot the wheels and the snow packing up and freezing there is creating more friction. it got harder as I went. gotta fix that.

I have to attend a hearing today so I wore a suit, rather than just dress pants, shirt and tie. I have to say that it was fairly uncomfortable the way it rode up when I leaned forward. Maybe I need a more upright city bike.

I'll swing by the LBS on the way home tonight and see what they have in stock....
