Any thoughts on tomorrow morning?? I haven't looked at the weather yet, but would be keen to ride if it's dry/not-icy.

Dew point is looking awfully close to temperature http://namroc.com/, and there was ice on the clay bricks on my front walk at 10:00.

I'm going to head out. If the roads are bad, I'll come home and ride my spin bike.

I counted a max of 19 as folks came and went. Pretty good for a freezing January morning!
The group was cautious on the known danger-corners, to good effect. The only slippage I saw was both Steve and my back ends skittering as we dialed up the sprint in Beacon Hill. The Park seems to stay a little colder.

Riding alone at the front amid alternating shouts of:
"Pedal!"
"Mechanical!"
"PEDAL!!!!"
"MECHANICAL!!!"
...was among my more confusing moments of group-riding.

It's getting closer to the day when we need a directeur sportif, a team car and radios, isn't it?
I can hear it now: "Listen up team. John D, put the hammer down. Make the Garneau boys suffer. Shawn, go back for Pete. Or your Tour spot is history. Don't make him look bad on the hills. He can only do 450 watts, so piano, piano. Gavin, come back for more bottles. You have the most room in your jersey since that tapeworm episode."
