Hey BleekerStGirl, I do have the proper clothes, believe me...I could supply a biking family I have so much clothing! (and I do ride in the winter providing the roads are ice free!) I sorta used that as an excuse. I hemmed all day about riding..and regretted it by 5pm. I did however get the last of the flower beds tended to, and all the planting containers taken care of, and got the last of all the outside stuff done before winter. SO all wasn't lost by not riding, but I used that breeze-ok wind-as an excuse. It made me ease my guilt of not being out on the bike, feeling the breeze in my face...
