Monday, February 13

Morning:

Weather: 22 degrees, feels warmer, sunny, snowed yesterday.

Quality of Ride: Great, although very wet - very little traffic - Boston schools are closed, looks like alot of people stayed home.

Tech Issues: I took my Peugot mountain bike instead of the Colnago. I have studded tires on the mountain bike which makes navigating in the snow a bit easier. Some of the gears are missing a tooth or two, and the front brake squeals, so I have that going for me.

Incidents: None

Comments: Photos - Beacon St, Mem Drive outcrop.

Evening:

Weather: Cold, windy, wet, uncomfortable.

Quality of Ride: Cold, windy, wet, uncomfortable. Suck-osity abounds.

Tech Issues: That same screeching brake. It enhances the cold, windy, wet, uncomfortable ride.

Incidents: None besides nearly being dumped on my ass a couple of times.

Comments: Photos are views of Like A Virgin this evening around 5:25 or so. The first photo really captures the spirit of this atrocity. My path through this maelstrom takes me past the path of the oncoming truck in the second photo. If you are not first out of the gate when the light turns green, you're lost.
