It's -5 F right now. Supposed to get down to -11 tonight with dangerous windchill of -32. Makes me want to hibernate!! A high of 4 tomorrow. I will most happy when this deep freeze is gone!!!

I did manage to ride on Sat. The high temp was 5. Winds were 25mph. Windchill, I really didn't even want to know. I was on a ride called the BRR Ride in Perry, Iowa.This was the 30th year the ride was held. I've gone on 11, so I was determined to not miss out. I must say, it's the coldest I've ever ridden in and I did NOT do the whole ride. (22 miles). Some people who did seriously ended up with frostbite on their faces, toes, and fingers. I am NOT that dedicated. Or stupidly stubborn. I rode 10 miles. That was plenty. Then I got a ride back in a nice, warm vehicle. Tons of post-ride fun and I wasn't too frozen to enjoy. Now I will wait till it warms up a bit before I try go out again.

I think all my layers of clothing weighed almost as much as my bike!
