Thanks for the reccomendation - I don't know what kind of tights I have; but I was wearing capris in this instance, and as you mentioned they were just as thin as shorts, so not much benefit vs. air temperature.

How does one assess curculation? Thyroid is fine, not sure the last time iron was checked.

Liza -- How cold... well, now this is a bit embarassing as it was 50-55 F when we started out on Saturday. Not 'Real' cold weather, by any means. I know that when it dips below 60 I need to keep my ears covered, as they chill & start to hurt quickly. So I had my Ibex hat on, pulled down over the top of my ears.

I think my comfort cadence is probably between 70 & 80.. I don't have a sensor, but try to be aware of rotation and relate it to spin class. I have a perception that anything over 100rpm gets sloppy & bouncy.. you mentioned starting at 100 & increasing by 10? How high of a cadence is reasonable to work at? Or to maintain if we're setting a goal for high cadence while on the road?

Thank you for all the tips!
