Jan. 14 Rides

[Geonz]

Just the church commute and a few back and forths - rainy and 36 doesn't make me exactly want to go out for a long one.

Now I'm going to sneak out anyway. Temperature is about to start dropping like a rock and this stuff will freeze up. Woops, better go fast, it's 33 - that "cold line" is arriving.

the church commute - 35 miles round trip.
but when i left the house the weather channel announced 21 degree wind chill. i have never ridden in that cold. this is arizona for gosh sakes. anyway, i think i nailed the clothing this time - on my feet i had thin sock liners, stormsocks, shoes with booties over them plus gator toe covers over that. my toes didnt freeze off this time. it was around 40 when i rode home and i ran into the (37,000) marathoners finishing the PFChangs rock and roll marathon. passed several live bands. i just felt very slo-o-o-o-ow today in the cold. but i think it's more the extra weight i'm carrying in all that cold weather gear that makes me slower.
