It started out as my first cool weather ride (49 degrees) and ended up as my first ride in the rain.
Started out in tights, long-sleeve mid-weight jersey, windbreaker, smartwool cap, and winter gloves. I warmed up fairly quickly and removed the jacket and switched to my regular gloves around 11 miles in. Shortly later the rain drops started. By the time is was obviously not just a passing thing I was beyond halfway and past a shortcut. I put the jacket back on and rode about 10 miles in the rain. I think I had a puddle in my right shoe from the tire spray![]()
I see if I'm going to keep biking as it gets colder I'm going to need a better jacket and thicker tights, but the thing that bothered me the most was cold toes.
Like a good bike mommy, I dried down my bike before I got my shower![]()
28 miles, 14 mph average
