Bad day at work, But good ride to work and home .
Still had a lot of frozen mud and snow .
I hope it warms up soon . Have a good nite .

Good commute in today. Warmer temps, it was around 24F. High today is supposed to get around 45F. Light traffic and no wind. Very good commute.

Cookies will do that.
The winds we've had lately haven't helped either. I had a headwind all the way to work last Friday. Yesterday (Monday) I had crosswinds all the way home.

Cooler this morning, thankfully no repeat of yesterday's bonking. A Lexus SUV with a Sorba sticker and a bike rack pulled the ol' right hook, nearly taking off my front wheel.

still cold, still slow, but I'm a happy gal to be on my bike!

and i'm happy that you're happy. and happy to be on my bike as well.

almost 30 °F today, and sunny to begin, but now cloudy; weak threat of "flurries". i am now officially allowing myself to imagine a ride into work that does not include dodging patches of ice.

It was a great morning. The temps were in the mid teens and there was no wind. I noticed that I am not as sweaty when I get into the office. There were a few icy spots here and there, but overall the path was in very good shape. I saw one other person out on a bike this morning and a few fresh tracks that tell me there were others out earlier.

First commute of the year this morning. Wow! Someone must have went out and made the hills more steep. I picked a good day for it -- sunny, no wind, temperature in the 20s (supposed to push 40 for the ride home).

My light bit the dust this past December, so I waited for the sunlight to catch up with me. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Fabulous commute in this morning. Bright, sunny low to mid 30s -- although a little more wind than necessary. The trail was generally dry and any wet areas were still frozen this morning so the ride was easy. The new bike worked beautifully and shaved 20 minutes off my previous commute time. The gear was all working as it should and I had the right layers on to be warm but not sweaty. It was kind of weird to be on the trail with so many other riders you could actually do a traffic report, but it was smooth sailing all the way.

What a morning! Left the house at 6am, rode a fast 20 mile loop, kept getting faster and faster. A "no-chain day" as George Hincapie would say.

Swung home to shower, eat breakfast, and change a couple of diapers before heading into work. So hard to glide up to the bike cage when I really wanted to keep going for another 20.

2 inches of fresh powder this morning. Someplaces the wind blew it into a nice drift. It was kind of cool plowing through a foot of deep snow in places. The way the spokes and drive train kick up the snow made me feel like I must be hard core. At least that is what one co-worker said the other day. I know for a fact my core is soft like a marshmellow. Anyways, good commute with -13C and snow and no wind.

I hate the cold with a passion. I stay out of the cold as much as possible. Sucks that I live in Canada, eh? Once it warms up (ie. I cannot see my breath in the morning), I guess I'll have to start posting here.

Sask, if you consider yourself softcore, then I must be filled with gas.

Oh wait, that's not what I meant to say....!

My commute sucked this morning. 2 (out of 17) miles out, and I noticed a spoke was broken. Decided just to ride back home and take it in to the shop.

Thursday, I will have freshly built Mavic Open Pros with some decent spokes (and some new tires - Specialized Mondo Pros).

Todays ride home there were thousands of Monarchs everywhere on the road, I had lots of fun dodging them while they sun in the bike lane. Perfect day for a ride!

Stiil out with very sore hip
Thank you all for posting - i'll live vicariously for the time being (pathetic, i know, but
it's all i've got for now).
Enjoy your rides - be safe.

The boss got caught in a slow line of traffic and wondered what the hold up was...He charged me like a bull as I pulled into the parking lot and I got a shouting ear full. He said he was temped to scream something at me as he passed!!!!!!




err...yeah.

EDITED: Oh and then on the way home a hot guy in the oncoming traffic hung out the window and yelled I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

???? Guess commuting has it's ups and downs

Good ride on the way to work .but on the way home I found alot of loose spokes on by wheels . So when I got home I fix it . But still a good ride . Have a good nite .

Great ride home yesterday. A slight wind but not to bad. Tempature got up to about 48F. Traffic was heavy in a few spots, I guess everyone was taking the backroads to avoid the highway.

Ride in this morning was real nice. A little cool with temps around 25F. The ride was going great and I realized the wind was at my back, which was good, but means that I will be riding into the wind on the way home. Unless I can get my weather control device done by then and I can switch that around.

Finally back to commuting by bike. I don't know how those folks in cars can stand it. Out of town for 3 days last week(S. Carolina-azaleas blooming, nice) and drove the first 2 this week. Ride was great, good temps, rather warm. Need to rebuild my entire drive train on my commuter. May have to switch to the roadie in the meantime.

Light rain, tailwind, and cool (42°F). The rain sure does clear the bike path of dog walkers and moms! Happy trails.

Chain fell off again, in exactly the same place (of road). making it two nights in a row. wasn't able to fix this time. ending up walking ~4 miles home.

It rocked! No wind, clear skies, low 20s. I had plenty of layers this time: ended up perfectly dressed.

Cute blonde whooped at me as she passed by. She rolled down her window at the next light and talked to me a little. I asked her if she couldn't resist a man in tights. A little ego boost for me -- I'm not all that much to get excited about! Nice start to the commuting season for me as yesterday was my first commute of the year.

A nice bright sunny morning (-6c, -10c with windchill) and very pleasant. The bike lanes were still clogged with thick ice or cars that couldn't park against the curb, but it is warming up steadily and all that should be gone in about a week. Rode the chopper to work and it was a nice smooth ride...except I heard a strange noise from the rear and will have to investigate before I head for home.

I drive to work about once a month. Today was one of those days. I had to fill-er-up, and was shocked--since when does a Honda Accord (an OLD one) take $30 in gas? Luckily I don't fill up too often. The traffic was bad and I was stuck in it, and then I couldn't find a parking space...all this because I bought a couple of lamps yesterday and can't get them home on my bike! What a drag. Tomorrow I'm biking.
