In Which the Frost Does Rime

Bike and snow
Sunday ride. This is a busy corner--Collins Road and C Avenue--in Cedar Rapids. I crossed at the crosswalk and then had to carry my bike over the tall snow wall. I haven't used this route again.

MMU campus
Arriving at Mount Mercy campus Sunday.

It’s been good few days to own a mountain bike in Iowa.

I rode to campus Sunday and today. The Sunday ride was sunnier, but both days featured pretty rime ice—frozen fog stuck to the trees.

Sunday sunset
Ready to head home Sunday. Needed my lights!

There are some Januaries where I have missed cycling all month long, due to adverse roads. I think I was pushing the envelope today—but I am enjoying the winter rides!

Grey morning
I am not sure riding Monday was wise, but I was OK. Two images from slow, careful morning commute on slick-looking streets.
