19 degrees for the ride in. Well, two layers on the bottom, three on top, thick socks, thermal skull cap and bulky gloves did the trick. I was toasty the whole way in. In fact, the only time I had problems with it being cold was when I stopped at a traffic light and my glasses would fog up!
On a side note, I was told by a co-worker that I was 'nucking futs' for riding in the cold! (swap the first two letters...) Typical response for this time of year.

I get that comment on a fairly regular basis too LOL...
Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

I couldn't finda spare broom, and didn't want to use my one reasonably good one (good because I never use it, but that's another story
).
None of the other 9 or 10 bikes out there in the wind had costumes either. Our temperature was 40 degrees but falling. It'll be nippier later in the week... not 19 though...
Oh, be it duly noted, though, that somebody (not a biker) actually asked me "what bike did you wear?" to a ride

ohh! I am shivering just thinking about you poor people where it is cold. I was saying it was cold last night (56) what the heck am i complaining for! I can't take a ride today cause it takes all day to get our house ready for tricker or treater's. and my husband had to go kayak fishing this morning so when he gets home it will be a huge rush to get things ready. I will be dreaming of tomorrows bike ride.......Be safe today all riders
Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

I didn't go costumed either. I did hill training today. Think I'm improving, until I looked at my previous times on Bikejournal.com.
The janitor here is dressed like Rocky Balboa. I've got a complete Timex/Cannondale kit at home, But i'm not sure if the office is ready for purple shorts
Had just a little bit of sun for once.

A cold ride . . . a very cold ride!
I already posted about my morning ride as a witch in the commuting section. It was a total blast! Didn't talk about the temp though. The official low was 17 but the temp at our house was in the single digits when I left for work. I stayed warm except for my feet which were total numb when I got to work.
Ah well, I get to do it all over again this afternoon. At least the temp has warmed up! It almost 35 degrees! bikerHen
