+15C today and no bike under me. What a pitty.

 Is 0 degrees C too cold to ride to work? Probably not. But I have a fear of cold, cold road surface and I have a rule of sorts - it needs to be +4 C before I get on the bike. +15 C today but rain mixed with snow tomorrow and beyond.

 This year I'll do a picture en-route each morning I ride to work.

 I took one picture Tuesday morning out the window of my warm caged environment. There was a herd of Elk. They were originaly up against the fence ready to cross a very busy highway. This isn't the first time I have seen them on my commute. Last Spring there were 150 or so at the same spot. This smaller herd were spread out on a knoll on the opposite side of the highway the next day. Must have been pandemonium as they braved the fence then darted across. I wonder if they are as erratic as deer...

I should add, at this juncture, if you are reading and have a commute story of your own, shout it out!
