I did it! It wasn't bad at all. It's so easy to psych myself out. The wind was hard heading out, but it was totally fun coming back.

I have to share my new tip--tights (the kind you wear with a skirt) under my knickers! It was perfect! My cold weather cycling tights make me slide all over my saddle, so I hate them. This was totally warm and comfortable. I also wore ballet leg warmers over my knickers. I could be an extra in "Flashdance" in this get-up.
