Winter came back. I thought we had this thing licked. Apparently not.
I chose to ride Big Nellie to work. I haven’t ridden the Big one to work in many months. I left early. It was dark. And cold. No worries. I just pedaled my ass off until I warmed up.
I was pleased that the wooden bridges had no frost on them. The whole way to DC.
On the asphalt north of the Memorial Bridge black ice coated the trail in a few spots. No guts, no glory. I rode straight across the ice. Each section was maybe 10 feet long.
At work I parked Big Nellie next to my boss’s Yuba Mundo. That was a lot of bikeage.
Having ridden to work early I was looking forward to riding home in the daylight. Alas, work ran long and I left after dark. I’ll get even with the daylight gods soon. In about a month or two. Just wait.
It was about 10 degrees warmer for the ride home. No black ice. Just a shocking number of bike commuters. Go #bikedc!!!!
Sorry, Dude, but we’re probably sending you our cold. We had a high of 12 today. Yesterday it was 8. Good times…… NOT!
