Nope, still too cold

[Lise]

Enticed by Nanci's amazing ride report, and lured by the beautiful sunshine, I layered up, pulled on my toe covers, running gloves under biking gloves, headband, etc, pumped up the tires of my beautiful new bike, and took off for...1.46 miles.

I meant to ride over to the lake and ride north, let the wind carry me back home, get in a good 10 miles, but...within blocks my fingers were 10 little popsicles, my nose was running uncontrollably, and it just wasn't worth it.

It's 41 degrees out. I guess that's still too cold. Frustration on the prairie.

How frustrating! At least you tried It will warm up eventually.

You could always move! People have babies down here, too, you know!

I really don't like riding in 40F weather. I hope to be better prepared next winter. All I really have to sort out is my feet.

It looks so beautiful out here in Winconsin but on the bike....bruuuuuu
Next week the low is 50 so hang in there--It has to be 10 degrees warmer in Chicago than way up here

Thanks guys. I must say the toe covers really help. I need to sort out the hands. And, it could be worse. It could be Wisconsin sorry, Janet. The weather thing's saying 60 by the end of the week. It's just been a tough day.

Lise...It was nice riding weather here in Salt Lake today but did I ride? Noooooooooo....my excuse was getting all prepped for my mtn bike trip next week, but, really... I am not used to this urban riding bit and, frankly, it makes me NOT want to ride (I had a lovely rural mountain paradise where I was before I moved here 6 months ago...*sigh*). The trails are too muddy/snowy still to ride my mtn bike, so either I have to get my but out there or just give it up.

We'll break through our barriers soon, I hope (you: weather, me: city livin').

I did get a lot of yard work done today after I did all my errands!
