Bicycling

My winter biking is significantly easier than yours, though. I've been out riding about an hour and a half a day for the past month, and it's been nice. Seattle's stayed fairly dry in the last week, which has been perfect.

I just got a new bike a few weeks ago after my old one was stolen (a 2009 Masi Gran Corsa, found in good condition for under $600 ) and that kinda made me want to get out and ride. So I've been forcing myself to get out at least 6 days a week, rain or shine. It's been refreshing, and I've been pretty happy I've done it.

The worst weather I've had was a two and a half hour ride in the drenching rain. It was probably around 40-50 degrees out, so not too cold, but very, very wet. I was riding in a skinsuit and wool underwear underneath all of that, so I was completely soaked the entire time, but decently warm. The only thing I've been having a hard time keeping warm is my feet. The tennis shoes/wool socks combo is just not warm enough for me, and my feet start slipping off the pedals after a bit (ah, to have the extra money for new pedals and riding shoes).

Took a ride up to Snoqualmie Falls this weekend from the University area, about 3 hours up, 3 hours down, and utterly gorgeous the whole way. I'd post pics, but I don't have them downloaded yet

Ah, just another half hour at work and then I can go bike more
