Nice first ride in the COLD.

Not too bad this morning. A bit of snow/slush/ice in the bike lanes. I rode Clark instead of LFT from Evanston. The wind off the lake was still bone-chilling. Despite the rather moderate temperature (around 28-30F), my hands were quite cold for the first half of the commute.

I did not because I was concerned about Milwaukee and Kinzie PBLs.  Anyone have a report?

Nothing to report. But the lanes/sharrows around Ogden, Roose are good. Sadly hit a spot of invisible ninja ice prolly due to overconfidence on my part. I think by this pm everything will be good again. But after yesterday, I had a similar concern for today.

Better than usual (enthused and confident), but Kinzie has a lot of moisture in it which will likely freeze as it gets colder (interested but concerned).

Thanks. Being in "interested but concerned" mode today, I figured the protected parts would be unplowed and icy.

I am living vicariously through these posts, as I'm likely to be off the bike for a few weeks, due to a broken collar bone :(

Hope your collar bone heals quickly!! No fun being off-bike. :-(

Good luck with the recovery and don't rush things.

Yes, nice ride. I tacked on another 45 minutes or so with a couple friends up in Evanston, then grabbed my bag and continued to work.

Yes.  Not windy yet when I came in.  From the flags I can see from my window, looks like that is changing.
