My last bike ride so far this year was Wednesday, November 21. The next day, Thanksgiving, it snowed. Every year I vow to bike the frozen tundra, last year the picture to the left was taken December 28th when the temp was in the 30s--I biked around the lake.

As much as I'd like to commute my 2 miles on bike to work at 4:00 am each winter day, I feel the risk is greater than the reward at this point. If I could only move every other street light from my downtown street to Richwood Road, and send my snowblower-happy neighbor out at 3:00 am on the bike trail and bike path, there would be no question that I would be on that bike!
