I feel for you, really. We got snow over the weekend and are in the

is only an inch or two downtown and has been reduced to sheet ice in
many places. I rode to work on my cross bike and had to get off and
walk in a couple of spots. I am going to have to pick my way home

much elevation, or else I'll be sledding home. I'm probably going to
have to drive tomorrow or take the bus.

Tomorrow I gotta try a bit lower pressure, though. On the bike/ped
bridge facility, the footprints make hard-sided craters that you really
bounce through. Crossing the bridge is quite a pounding.
