 Tough ride in severe elements.
Coldest ride of the year and ever when considering the windchill! I was thinking that a ride in these conditions is near routine for some (Ollebear). With my "consecutive" streak at stake, I figured I should at least give a try for a ride.

The road conditions were mostly wet with some packed snow, hard slush and even a small area of dry pavement. Mostly it was slick and snow covered on the East-West roads, wet on the North-South roads.
180 consecutive cycling days with miles of "road smiles" along the way!
