I had to ride around the block a couple of times over hte holidays just to keep my consecutive streak going. I only hit 9000 yesterday so it'll be a challenge to get to 10K... and we're on teh "rain snow line" for a mess coming in this weekend so it seems no matter what it's not going to be NICE.
HOWEVER! I, too, have found that it's not bad riding in cold if you've got the layers, especially since my top one is Gore-Tex (a hand-me-down). Monday's 33.2 degrees in the rain made me laugh because I *knew* I looked miserable, and I knew other people *were* miserable... but it was a most euphoric ride. Today wasn't even as pleasurable. Maybe it's my swimming background but I *like* the feel of spray on my face and it's physically pleasurable to ramp up the heartrate and feel the furnace kick in and radiate all over that cold stuff.
I've watched other people turn blue and shiver and would love to know exactly how much of it is controllable. I do know the extra bits of subcutaneous insulation help ... and then when I don't wear as many layers, people tell me how much weight I've lost - NOT )
