Commuter diaries - 1st ride of the year

Avatar

Well, back in the saddle after the holiday season and it is great! Despite or because of the freezing fog, snow, ice and temperature the riding is awesome. This morning was a veritable winter wonderland with a glistening frost and red clouds. Wrapped up with Buff thermal, over shoes and my trusted Altura Night Vision Jacket (the brightest and warmest I have), I set off into the traffic. Must get some pictures tomorrow in the snow!

Get out and ride.
