The Big Thaw

Despite the 3 weeks of bone-chilling temperatures and a few centimeters of snow, winter was quite mild. This past weekend brought temperatures around 5 degrees (that's 40 degrees to US folks) which was truly a breath of fresh air. The snow melted and I took a long bike ride to the southern edges of Prague. The snow and ice had kept me off my bike the past few weeks- unlike last year when I took icy NYC streets head on every day to class- and I was really starting to feel it. So, my wussing out on riding is over and I'm back on the bike heading to work bright and early tomorrow morning.
