Thank you for all the great tips!

I just picked up a new jacket (thank you rei clearance + 20% coupon!) and it's great for upper body. I'm doing a little better on legs, tho am still searching for the right tights. Saw some that appear to be fleecy inside & wind proof on top, may have to give those a go. Big thumbs up to smartwool socks.

Did a little bit of hill work Monday, and on the way back was able to really work on spinning & cadence - was doing much better, and for some reason I'm thinking the work on the hills helped. I don't know actual cadence, but it was definatley faster than my comfort zone, and I pushed to maintain it a bit.

This Sunday's ride looks to be 50s, rainy, and 70 miles. hoo boy!
