It's just a little frost, honest. I rode to work in it, it was fine.As far as the route, there's no reason in the world that it shouldn't be ridable, assuming we don't get a lot of NEW snow. I ride in the area all the time, the worst I have to look out for is sand and gravel left over on the shoulders and bike lanes.

Yeah I figure we will just have to be careful with the sand/salt stuff.

I'll drive it tomorrow (heck I may end up riding it tomorrow). And b is right, it'll be a dirty ride, but hopefully mostly snow-free.

Mine has had MAYBE 4 days off, TOTAL since I bought it in June of last year. I'm pretty sure it's up for it.
Although I could use a new pair of tires... doubtful I'll get them this weekend, though... They moved my Performance... now instead of about 2 miles they're like 15 away. 
Edit: Ok... it's only 10 miles... that's still a lot farther. *sighs* Guess I'll check some other places for prices. I need a new back wheel soon, too.

On this ride you won't need the granny... When you say the slip... are you saying the link won't work? I hit it last night and it worked fine. Do you see anything?

I didn't add turn-by-turn because the route is simple: We head up to 32nd from Sloan's Lake, take 32nd out to Golden, turn left to go up to the judicial center, and turn around....

(okay, so I still have to drive the route, but I trust it with this week's warmth)

Tried pulling it up at work and it stalled at "Please wait - Loading"
Reset the security levels on IE to the default - (Medium) and it loaded fine.
You might check those settings if you are still having trouble.

Bad news:
I was on my way to the store with my wife and we went past Supercuts.... she said I should go in and get a haircut, that "It'll make you faster on the ride tomorrow" .... so I did. And now my hair is nice 'n short, and I'm ready to go.
Watch out!
Another funny thing... I stopped in the bike shop and was talking to one of the employees... we started talking about the weather, and I said I hoped it would hold out for tomorrow, I had a bike ride... he said he had one, too, and that they were meeting at 12:30 ..... me: "Oh, Where are ya meeting?" him: "21st and Stuart" me: "Hi, I'm Bill, we're riding together tomorrow!"

Ahh - didn't make it out to that one much.
I'm only a few blocks from Campus Cycles and Denver Spoke, so they are my first stop most of the time.
Looks like yet another beautiful day in Colorado - time to go get the bike preped and the bike rack on the car...
See you all a bit later.
