And the dark. And the combination of dark and ice, which makes it very
easy to wipe out. Which is No Fun, especially if you land in slush and
have to finish out your ride soaking wet. And then work 12 hours, put on
wet clothes and ride back home in the dark and ice.

When it gets like that I hang it up until spring.
