Snow Parking

It's been a snowy couple of weeks here in Maine, which has made the biking challenging. It's raining and 40ish today, so good day to be off from work while some of the snow melts.

Cold Commute

Getting in gear for the 5 degrees F bike ride this morning. Hey, it's over twice as warm as that 2 degrees ride the other week! ;)

After surviving a colder and snowier than usual December, January 2008 is off to a mixed start. Last week began with piles of snow and then ice ruts from the two feet of snow that fell on New Year's Eve & Day. Friday was my coldest commute yet at 2 degrees F! Out of paranoia I actually over-layered and was too warm. By contrast it is 43 degrees F today (and, the streets are mostly melted clear).

I took the Christmas lights off the bike and stored them for next year. The days are getting a little longer, and we'll see how many days I can stay on the bike this winter. Last year the real snow didn't hit until Feb/March/April!

It is an unseasonably warm day (upper 50s F) and the sun is kind of shining, so I decided to do a quick lunchtime ride into the Old Port section of Portland. It's a pretty good ride - there is one downhill section where you pick up speed and end up coasting at 30 mph. Then I meandered down Commercial Street and sat for a while. It was nice to let the breeze and sun and random bits of cruise ship tourist conversations wash over me. Then a quick ride back up the hill and over the bay.
