Thought about skipping today, but finally decided it was just too nice out not to be out enjoying it...
25F, NW wind about 15 mph. Started from the bottom of the driveway -- yup, drove down, driveway is way too icy to try riding on -- headed south on a route that is usually somewhat protected from the wind. On the way out it was very pleasant, but at some point I realized that wind, which I thought was supposed to be out of the west, and therefore a crosswind, was actually out of the NW or even a little more towards the N. And I was going south.
The last bit going south I passed two different tree crews trimming limbs, didn't envy the guys up in the cherry pickers nor the cops directing the very minimal traffic. They weren't far from my planned turn-around point, and having passed them both once I didn't really feel like passing them again right away.
So back a slightly different way, through the farm fields now, dead into the wind. Just kept the head down as much as possible while still seeing as much as needed to be safe (from cars, potholes, telephone poles, people, dogs, though the last two categories were nowhere to be seen).
And at some point I was done. And didn't even have to ride up the driveway.
