Road run to avoid wet conditions. 32F. Ran around the recently opened trails/roads at Southgate.

Ride in. 35F 10TW. RFoot still sore walking a bit but felt fine on the bike.

Ride home. Light pack. 30F 15HW Snow. My sketchiest commute ever. Started snowing just before I left. Wasn't expecting much if any snow by the time I left. By the time I left the grocery store it was blizzard conditions and snow was building up on the roadways. Gusts at 25MPH.

I took it super slow checking and holding brakes (already almost completely worn) often. Front Der froze pretty quickly. Rear Der made it all the way. I stopped a couple times to let cars pass and clean glasses. Goggles were sorely missed. Sunglasses were fogging and covered in water. Plus snow was building on the brim and freezing my forehead.

I mostly tried to ride in the car tracks but those were even getting covered too quickly. Walked down Dumplemur and up the driveway. Had to carry my bike up, because once I stopped riding the wheels stuck/froze.

Old Farm Reverse Classic loop w/Zitch. Strained Plantar in my right foot at the bottom of Beast. Hurt on the Farm descent and at home. Blew by a turn on the Farm descent, odd.

Skip sadly left at home. Surgery scheduled for Feb 6 but hoping (fingers crossed) to move up due to a cancellation.
