First commute of the year!

Did the first commute of the year yesterday! With the incredible weather we've been having here in Michigan (10 inches of snow on Monday, 50 degrees by Friday!) I couldn't resist. With temps in the 50's yesterday I just had to bike!
What was amazing was the coworkers disbelief that I would bike in such weather! They kept asking what about the ice and snow, to which I replied what ice and snow?? It would then dawn on them that the roads where clear.
So, is there a 2012 mileage thread yet??

Friday was my first bike ride this year, too. Oddly enough it was colder here than there but it was still nice.

I assume you found the 2012 mileage and trip report threads by now?

My first commute of 2012 was today! It feels like its been a month between a flu and the xmas break. Weather was surprisingly mild and it finally stopped raining long enough to sneak in to work.

Had to celebrate with a pitstop for a breakfast roll! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvo99q4S3Xo

I just got over a mild brush with a cold, so my wife was threatening me with no sympathy when I come down with pneumonia!
