I am also enjoying this winter, but in a very different way from tsl. I only began commuting in September, so this is my first winter. Every ride is a revelation. There is always a new thing to learn. It turns out that cold*, wind, and rain, are not really things to dread and fear (though, I confess that in combination, they are daunting). And also, I find myself weirdly proud that I can arrive at work under my own steam. Sometimes partway to work I'll get hit with a big gust of wind while spinning uphill and find myself grinning. "I can do this. I can actually do this. I can't believe I can do this" I think.
What a wonder.
* Um, yeah, I'm in Memphis so "cold" means something different to me than it does to many of you.
