Biking Commute through freezing rain.
« on: May 22, 2013, 03:27:48 AM »
So in my second week of ditching the car for the bike I came home tonight in the dark through freezing rain for my 10km commute after 14hrs at work.

Sounds awful but I felt pretty darn good about sticking to my guns and beating the elements. MMM might be on to something after all...

Good work! I also find that if you have an office job, a ride such as this is exactly what you need to clear your head and get your body moving after a tough 14 hour day.

Congrats and yikes, in what part of the country are you still seeing freezing rain?
