It was above freezing (according to the radio) when I left this a.m. – had been since noonish yesterday. Temps going down, but even right now it’s 35.
A *thick* frost, however, had been laid upon the streets, specifically White/Logan/Clark. Where I turn on New Street, it was icy enough to make for skidding from cars and sliding with sneakers… I didn’t test to see how easily the Xtracycle slicks would slide out on a turn, but it was fine onthe straightaway. I suppose concrete takes longer to warm up…
Darwin Ride tomorrow. Must find something edible to bring 🙂
ILLINI CHILL in two weeks! Must try to convince weather to be NICE.
