Since I ride to work most of the winter anyway, it's not going to change much for me, but our City is sponsoring a Winter Bike to Work Day today. I don't think they were expecting temps forecast to hit 70 though. :cool:
There are still a few clues that make me think it's winter though...it's dark when I leave and it'll be dark when I come home, and there will be wind.
you're lucky. it usually rains here on bike to work day!
70F high, sunny, breezy, hundreds of cyclists, definitely not my usual winter commute.
Ha ha yeah! It was crazy warm! I was expecting a festival of tights this morning, but no deal. I wish I had moseyed up to the county building or whatever for the goodies they were giving away. Unfortunately after the headwind I rode home in last night and the uphill game of chase I played with another rider my legs were screaming at me! I figured the direct route was a good plan. Oh well.
The only thing that sucks about commuting to Longmont is the EVIL wall of cold that you hit on 119 at Niwot. UGH! I had to pack my uber coat in my leeeetle messenger bag. Good thing I had it because by the time I turned down airport it was no longer a matter of "I can suck it up." I am a cold weenie!
Fun day in all though. Everyone rode in today, go us!
Have you tried layering with merino wool?Quote:

I think if it cools down again I'll be alright. I can deal with being a little too warm in Boulder for a bit. The uber coat isn't THAT big, it's the Descente Shelter jacket, but it sure fills out my bag! And to put it on is such a production because I have to take my MP3 player out of my back pocket and put it in the sleeve. I love that feature when the weather dictates the jacket though, for sure. I just cannot believe how warm that thing is. I have big burly coats from Columbia that aren't as warm.
