She -- Sorry that the cold feet issue made you cut your ride short Next time, chemical foot warmers--one on top of your socks above your toes and one on your socks below your toes--will keep your feet warmer for a longer period of time.
You will be my inspiration to get out and ride tomorrow and Sunday before sunrise (temps in the 20s and tomorrow, probably windy to add insult). You are one tough gal!!!

It was 17 degrees on our night mt bike ride this week. I did pretty well except for the feet too. i am going to try the foot warmers next week.

we do wheels down at 5pm, and the nice part is we did not have to put our lights on for a good 20 mins or so....we are getting there!


Fun stuff............

http://www.icebike.org/ doesn't seem to have much recent stuff, but there are lots of good tips for riding cold.

If you start doing it more than once a year, you'll find it isn't so bad When you just rode in 13 degrees the day before, 30 seems like a heat wave!

I remember HIppo Hands on the motorcycle (and that's always my frame of reference for cold 'cause it's **so** much colder than bicycling!)... might just check into them.

And YESSSS the days are getting LONGER!!!
