ice not sand

too much ice today for the trip to be very relaxing. my fading handlebar light didn't help me spot the sketchy spots. one warm day and the ice just moves out of the shadows that were once dry. without a good headlight it gets more challenging. at least i got to ride, my day to ride the amount i need, normally i don't set distance goals but today i need to get it done. alternatives means are not an issue. i'm ready to get the season started. another long day and then maybe race next weekend. i'm ready.
