First tough times coming up

So I realized that my first really car-tempting events are happening soon.

I woke up today and it's absolutely freezing outside (feels like 9 degrees according to weather.com). It's going to be a face-freezing ride to my work (it's like a 15 minute bike ride).

Also I live near Johns Hopkins homewood campus and I was invited to a couchsurfing party in Canton tonight. I'm hosting a guy this weekend and he invited me (check out couchsurfing.org if you have no idea what I'm talking about). It would take about 20 minutes to drive there, and I'm thinking of trying out the Baltimore bus system (which estimates 45-60 min). I haven't really tried bus riding in a city before so I'll be sure to tell you all how it goes.

Next up on Saturday (tomorrow) morning I'm volunteering for a day with habitat for humanity. It's down in Pigtown and I suppose I can just ride my bike down there in maybe a half hour, but it's also supposed to snow that day - should be fun.

Next up on Sunday I told my church that I'd get the bagels and donuts for our 11am mass. This would be much easier with a car, but I'm going to attempt it with just the bicycle.

Finally on Monday I told a Neurology professor I'd meet with her at Bayview. Bayview is crazy far away, at least a 30 minute drive and I think I'll attempt to follow my friend Johns advice of taking the Hopkins shuttle to JHMI, and then switching onto the bayview shuttle there. That's going to be a really long ride.

Anyway, wish me luck internet.
