Bike Commuting Season Begins

I wanted to try and get two rides to work this week but had to settle for one because Friday was the first day morning temperatures were above 15 degrees.  It's been single digits for the past week so Friday it seemed like a heat wave.

I rode the Bianchi with the new Stem, bars, and tape and it felt great.  Originally, I was going to ride in fixed gear but after Thursday's seat post fiasco I went back to the freewheel.  The hardest climb with 44x17 gearing was the hill on Poor House.

I thought I was going to burn up on the ride home because the temperature when I left the office was 35 degrees.  I wore the bare minimum but I still had to wear the lobsters.

Got some slack chain when I got home.

And surprise delivery!
