Four degrees. 16 miles. (Windchill something below zero but that doesn't count for me because if it's in my face I pedal harder and get warmer.) Rode to my house and back and it wasn't so cold iwth the layers, so I rode out to get the computer I need from work. It was slow going with the headwind and riding the 50-pound Gazelle with studded tires on it, but it really felt wonderful. There's just something hormonally appealing about steady strong pedaling and reasonably hard breathing. The bike shop's on the way back so I stopped in there to raise the seat rather than do it in the cold and so I could sneak back to the back office and tell the guy in charge that the Xtreme jacket he gave me yesterday (Christmas present but the first try didn't fit) was working well (over another jacket, a sweatshirt, and two layers of thermals). THen a biking buddy walked in to pick up her bike and admired the jacket and looked at the one on the shelf (and I saw the pricce tag - oy ) and we rode back together. I even forgot to put the ski goggles on for a ;while and it didn't hurt. It raelly helps if it's sunny!

Oh, and it was 13 by the time I got back heat wave!
