and so I want to try and track my errandonees here, just to help remember them. Today was a Community meeting - the Madison Polar Plunge

out by the Colosseum, er, Alliant Center. In the pond actual. Supposed to be a nice day; 36 and sunny but the sun didn't shine and there was bit of a breeze and miserable riding conditions (lots of slushy snow, lumps and ice and my kitty litter panier kept hopping off the rack and into the spokes. Need to fix that) on the way out - got stuck on University Ave, Old U. etc. all the way until Owen. And I forgot my swimsuit which I figured out as I was riding up to the event area. Well, dress is pretty varied at the plunge, from a bear suit, zombies thru rubber duckies and shower caps so I figured my long johns would work. I had a bathrobe so ... I learned not to forget my suit and next time I'm wearing a hat until jump time. Cold ride home, first time I've been on a bike in the winter w/o long johns on in a long time. Not an improvement. 14 miles, all told.
