this morning's conditions

fixed

couple inches of fresh
some unplowed roads
fenders clogged with muck
another shot of winter

it's been a busy week

taza chocolate

fifty hours at work

new coffee press

5 days on the bike

i've got a crafty kid

too little sleep

more craftiness

but it makes the weekend all the better.

extremes

a warm monday

it was 3 degrees friday morning
it was 46 degrees this morning
the winter wardrobe left at home
spring in the air?
not yet but the respite is welcome

steamroller got a makeover
drop bars
no fenders
smaller cog
some fit tweaks required
some stretching needed on my part too
poor posture at work
translates to poor posture on the bike
sit up straight
lenghten the spine
stop slouching
repeat

studded tires not required

slicks

the ice is minimal and spotty out there
yesterday's meltoff refroze overnight
choose a line and hold it
it's not all that bad to negotiate

well worn

rollers

twenty five degrees in the garage
freezing rain hitting the roof
dressed in summer kit
spoon on the ipod
first roller session of the season
