Happy Dance and winds...

It's great to hear of your progress & FUN! Be adventurous and look at your magnet & try sliding it around a bit so that the sensor senses it. Can't do any worse than what it's not doing now, right?

I took the bus in today because of our forecast (I'm about 100 miles west of Indy), tho' it was only doin' a little rain/freezing rain. Tonight I'll go out to my favorite parking lot and practice riding in the snow - going to *try* to put on my bike computer on the studded-tyre bike, and the back-wheel-with-cadence 'puter on the one that's on the trainer.

I tried that the other day and it worked I was SO proud of myself for "fixing" my bike computer!

This year I am not even going to try and get out in the snow, I have enough fun with dry pavement

if it's cold, but not freezing, I wear a relatively thin hat or a headband that goes over my ears. If it's freezing, I wear a balaclava to cover my head and face. My helmet is a bit tighter, but still fits.

Hello, I'm de-lurking after about a month of reading the board to weigh in on the freezing ears-- I'm up in Connecticut and it is bitter up here. I have a fulled wool hat (run through the washer/dryer on hot a few times) that fits like a toque and is so warm that my ears (unlike my thumbs, toes, and face ) are comfortable. I took an old helmet and removed the fitting pads, so the Velcro sticks to the hat and the helmet fits right. The hat is maybe 1/8 of an inch thick and no wind gets through. Just have to adjust the bottom edge so I can hear well.

Good luck! And thanks to the board for being here-- I'm loving the posts.

Ooh, I hadn't thought of using a hat and a helmet without pads!
