Biked in to work today, when I left the house to head to the bus station it was 15 degrees outside with a slight wind, weather man says 9 miles an hour. I Felt good and toasty on the inside though, only a little bit of remaining snow on the path with patches of ice, nothing major. One thing I hadn't counted on was when I arrived at the transit station, the snow plows had pushed the snow from the parking lot up in front of the bike lockers...whoops. Had to do some kicking to get the door open but otherwise went smoothly. Got the bike tucked in to her locker for the day and went to stand in line for the bus which was, in the end, late arriving. Was funny to listen to all the complainers about the cold and breeze, really, I didn't think it was all that bad. If you dress for the weather you should do just fine. There is never bad weather, only bad apparel. Supposed to be light snow today, tomorrow and tappering off on Wednesday...we'll see how it goes.
Learned three things this morning. First, don't bother bringing the coffee along, make it at work. It was luke warm once I arrived at the station and cold by the time the bus arrived. Two, wear hiking boots and two pairs of socks. My feet got very cold standing on the concrete waiting, biking I was fine. Go figure. Third and finally, bring a scarf! Again, riding was fine, it was the WAITING that sucked. Hmmm I am seeing a pattern here...biking is great, toasty and fun...waiting around is cold, sucky and boring. Could it be moving is better than standing? I really must resist the urge to start singing "Everyone move your body..." Time to get cracking on the J.O.B thing.
Peace out!
