Anyone else get a ride in today?
I got in a few miles, had planned to go down to White Rock Lake, but the path was just too nasty after all the weather the last week and a half. Full write up here:

(For those like Botto who have an attention span of a gnat, there's a short version a couple posts down, but I'm sure anyone smart enough to be living in the southwest has enough brain cells to get through my decently long post.

HELL YEAH!!! It was great!!! After being couped up in the house for almost two weeks, today's ride made me realize how much I truly love cycling. Only 8 of us plus a tandem team showed up this morning. We took it easy and had a great, pretty relaxed ride. I don't think we even averaged 17MPH. We did 45 miles through Sachse and Rowlett.

Yep...stay off the paths until they have a chance to dry out and de-scuz though. You'll live longer.
Looking forward to getting back on the commuter in the morning. I don't have any issues with the cold but that black ice last week was way too scary.

Got a ride in on the roads today. One layer on bottom and one on top with a vest. It was great.
