Wow -1 or even -4 (that low, who cares)...that's COLD!!!! I can ride when it is in the upper 20's, but that is my limit. We are in SPRING here. Bulbs are popping their heads out of the ground. It is nice. I wimped out on my commute home yesterday because once I got to work, the weather changed and we had snow. I was afraid I would be riding downhill on some very icy roads (and I have some steep downhills on my ride home) so I hitched a ride. I did go ahead and ride in again this morning. The ground was wet because it rained overnight, but it was warm enough that there wasn't ice. I hope the mountains got the dumping they were suppose to. Mimi, we don't have a lot of wind even though it is quite often "breezy". It just feels so good to be "outside" on a bike.
